Kisnorbo set to start...

[MHS]

...for Australia.

Patrick Kisnorbo is set to start for Australia against Ghana on Tuesday evening

The friendly match, at QPR's Loftus Road ground, marks a welcome return to international action for the 25-year-old defender, who has been out in the cold since 2004, missing this summer's World Cup in the process.

Kisnorbo said: "Why has it taken so long? You will have to ask the Australian coaching staff.

"I never thought about why I was never in. I just kept working hard for my team and hoped that another chance would come up."

Australia game finished 1-1

ETA: And the equaliser came from Kisnorbo's mistake. Oops.

"Ghana got their equalizer in rather fortunate circumstances, when a dangerous looking cross from substitute Gyan, looked to be comfortably held by Schwarzer. But as he came down, the ball hit the head of a prone Kisnorbo on the ground and the ball spilled out of the keeper’s hands and it was an easy finish for Agogo."

Canada lost 1-0

 

[Leigh]

Hume played 86 minutes.

Canadian Forward Iain Hume set the pace for Canada early by taking charge of the offence. Canada was quickly awarded two free kicks at the 9th and 13th minutes and Hume was given the task on both occasions. His second attempt, from just outside the box, came the closest as it was tipped over the bar by the Hungarian goalkeeper, Zoltin Vegh. Hume then followed up with a header on the ensuing corner that barely missed the mark....

....Canada tried to equalize before the half time whistle when Hume made a fabulous pass that landed in the penalty spot but no Canuck was available to capitalize on the play...


...Canada continued its quest for an equalizer when Hume fooled his Hungarian marker on the left hand flank. Hume then crossed it in perfectly to Radzinski. However, the Canadian captain could not capitalize on the golden opportunity to tie the game and unfortunately blew his shot over the bar....

...Hume was given a well deserved break at the 86th minute when Hart decided to give Andrzej Ornoch a crack at the big time and his first cap for Canada.
