Martin Boyle and Lewis Miller started for Australia last night in their 2-0 victory over China at the Hangzhou Sports Park Stadium which strengthened their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
First-half goals from ex Hibs player Jackson Irvine and Nishan Velupillay were enough to secure the three points.
The result means that Australia finish the March window second in Group C, on 13-points with their nearest challengers Saudi Arabia three points behind them in third.
Their remaining two games in Third Round Qualifying will take place in the next international window in June.
The Hibs pair along with team mate Nectar Triantis who was not in last night’s squad are on their way back to Scotland and should be available for Saturday’s home game against St Johnstone.
Miller player 76-minutes before being substituted and Boyle was replaced after 91-minutes.
