An early Keanu Baccus worldie put the Socceroos on the road to victory against Lebanon, eventually walking out 2-0 victors at CommBank Stadium.
Baccus scored early, and Kye Rowles doubled the margin with his first international strike.
But the win might have come at a cost, with Riley McGree and Jordan Bos both failing to finish the match.
