Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been asked to consider a public holiday in honour of the Socceroos, after they broke a 16-year drought in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Raucous cheers emanated from pubs, clubs and lounge rooms across the country as Mathew Leckie scored the first and only goal of the game in the 60th minute, leading to the 1-0 defeat of Denmark.
Australia will now progress into the group stages - a feat not achieved since stars Harry Kewell and Tim Cahill took to the field in 2006.
It is also the first time the team has won two matches in any World Cup
