0-0 at HT.
Bold selection by Poppa. 6 changes from the China game, including a Socceroos debut for Luke Brattan. And he's straight into the starting lineup!!
Didn't realise Popovic had already dropped Matt Ryan dropped to the bench with Gauci in goal against China & now Japan.
Jason Geria starts in place of Thomas Deng at the back, and Cam Burgess gets the nod over Kye Rowles.

In midfield, Jordy Bos starts, as does Luke Brattan and Ajdin Hrustic.
Aiden O'Neill is out with illness, meaning 34-year-old Macarthur midfielder Brattan gets his long-awaited debut.
Riley McGree, who was excellent when he came on at half time in Adelaide, also starts this time around, as Nestory Irankunda and Craig Goodwin drop to the bench.
A start for Jase tonight! ๐
