Swansea City defender Cameron Burgess was instrumental in helping the Socceroos secure a 2-0 victory over Turkey in their World Cup opener. The match took place in Vancouver, where Burgess played the full 90 minutes as part of a three-man defense. Despite Turkey dominating possession with 71.7% and firing 30 shots, eight of which were on target, the Socceroos managed to keep a clean sheet. This victory marks a strong start for Australia in the tournament. Burgess, who earned his 28th cap for Australia, had a remarkable season with Swansea City, playing 51 matches across all competitions. The next challenge for the Socceroos will be against co-hosts United States in Seattle on June 19. Burgess is not the only Swansea City player making waves at the World Cup; winger Eom Jisung also made his debut for South Korea in their match against the Czech Republic. Additionally, midfielder Marko Stamenic is set to represent New Zealand in their upcoming match against Iran.
