BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Spain-based winger Awer Mabil scored his eighth goal in 29 appearances for Australia and the Socceroos beat New Zealand 1-0 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Australia midfielder Jackson Irvine poached the ball in New Zealand’s half and fed Mabil in the 32nd minute. The Cádiz players stepped around a defender and sent a long-range strike into the bottom corner of the net. It was Australia’s last home match before the World Cup in Qatar. The teams play again on Sunday in Auckland.
