#5 Jimmy Mackay 

1974 World Cup Qualifier vs South Korea (November 13,1973)

Not only was this goal beautiful to watch, it sent Australia to their first FIFA World Cup. Jimmy Mackay struck the ball ever so sweetly outside the box, finessing it into the top left corner. An unreachable shot fulfilled a supposedly unreachable achievement.

#4 Harry Kewell

World Cup Group Stage vs Croatia (June 22, 2006)

Kewell’s 79th minute strike got Australia level at 2-2 with Croatia to ensure progression into the round of 16 of the 2006 World Cup for the first time. It was just an incredible moment for Kewell and the entire nation.

#3 John Aloisi

2006 World Cup Qualifier vs Uruguay (November 16, 2005)

This is the goal that every Australian football fan remembers, and for good reason. Aloisi’s penalty represented Australia’s entry into the 2006 World Cup – and a new era in the nation's footbaqll history. You can’t watch this moment without getting chills.

Watch the video on loop, you know you want to.

#2 James Troisi

2015 Asian Cup Final vs South Korea, (January 31, 2016)

This goal is what all the hard work over the years has led up to. The extra time goal handed Australia their first major tournament trophy in Asia and arguably their most significant triumph yet. The importance of this goal was felt across all of Australia.

#1 Marco Bresciano

 2006 World Cup Qualifier vs Uruguay (November 16, 2005)

Many saw Aloisi’s penalty as the goal that sent Australia to the 2006 World Cup, and although its immediate impact was clear, Bresciano’s goal in open play is what took the game to extra time, resulting in a penalty shoot out. Without Bresciano’s goal, Aloisi would have never been able to take that penalty, and the Socceroos would have never been where they are today. And that goal celebration... Amazing.
