2004 OFC Nations Cup match vs Solomon Islands hosted in Sydney (Australia)
Result:
Australia 6 – 0 Solomon Islands (Tuesday, 12th October 2004)
Player: Clint Bolton Position: Goalkeeper Socceroos Cap: #449
Socceroos Date of Debut:
12th June 2000, Australia vs Paraguay, Brisbane (Australia)
Squad:
Mark Schwarzer, Tony Popovic, Tony Vidmar (goal 60min), Kevin Muscat, Lucas Neill, Simon Colosimo, Brett Emerton (goal 86min), Josip Skoko, Luke Wilkshire, Jonathan McKain, Harry Kewell (goal 08min), Archie Thomson (goal 79min), Ante Milicic (goal 05min), Ahmad Elrich (goal 82min) Manager: Frank Farina
Stats & Facts:
Solomon Islands never were able to defeat the Socceroos in football history but at least the underdog achieved one draw in 10 games against Australia. Malicious gossip has it that the draw has happened on purpose when Solomon Islands needed one more point to finish second during OFC Nations Cup Qualifier groupstage. With this result New Zealand finished third and Australia had to face Solomon Islands again in two legs to win the OFC Nations Cup which was the easier opponent compared to the all time rivals New Zealand. (Australia has won both games 5-1 & 6-0)
06th June 2004 – Australia 2 – 2 Solomon Islands
09th October 2004 – Solomon Islands 1 – 5 Australia

It should take another 11 years to win their next trophy, this time the AFC trophy.

Stats & Facts:
Nike already has used an interim design jersey for the Socceroos in 2004 when Australia faced South Africa in a friendly match. One year later Nike again has used an interim shirt for Australia and again versus South Africa which has been only used for this single game. Therefore it is hard to say if this kit has been known as their „home“ or „away“ jersey.

Stats & Facts:
It was a retirement match of Zeljko Kalac (54 caps), Tony Vidmar (76 caps), Stan Lazaridis (60 caps) and Tony Popovic (58 caps) who finished his Socceroos career with a goal.

Still a big party afterwards for the four Socceroos legends who retired that day.
