The Socceroos have continued their winning-ways with a 1-0 win over Canada at the Stade Saputo in Montreal.
Tony Popovic's side were on the back-foot for the majority of the match, until Nestory Irankunda slotted a goal against the run of play in the 71st minute.
The Canadians were riding a nine-game unbeaten streak heading into the match, but couldn't do enough to topple the Socceroos, despite dominating the chances and possession.
Australia will now prepare for the second-leg of their showcase friendlies in North America, where they are set to face the USA at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Colorado, on October 15.
