A strange phenomenon occurred in the penultimate match of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, which brought Australia with Peru, where Andrew Redmayne, the kangaroo goalkeeper, was a hero with his famous dance, which has a funny story.
Australian goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne starred in the play-off match of the Asian and South American qualifying round for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar when he saved a penalty kick that ended the Peruvian trip, after participating in the last seconds of extra games.
With his strange acrobatic moves and constant provocation of the opponent, Redmayne, 33, distracted the Peruvian players, and Advincula’s kick was missed after hitting the post, then saved Valera’s strike, which was the last in a series of six shots.
It seems that the Australian goalkeeper did not do his acrobatic moves by chance, as he reminded football fans of what the former Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek did, after he starred in the 2005 Champions League final by distracting the players and dancing before shooting.
In 2019, the Australian goalkeeper Redmayne explained his unique technique of tackling the dance and described it in the way of the Russian mountains, specifically choosing a side of the goal and staying in it for the longest period before shooting and making strange movements, and the goalkeeper denied that he was keen to perform additional training sessions in that.
This method adopted by the Australian goalkeeper achieved success with his local club, Sydney, but the most prominent and greatest success that Redmayne achieved with his country by qualifying for the World Cup in this way that can be described as unique.
Australia’s qualification to the World Cup finals happened for the fourth time in a row and the sixth in its history, and Australia had beaten the UAE 2-1 in the playoff to determine the fifth of the Asian continent.
Once again, the “Kangaroo” team came out in the playoffs after playing it more than once when it was playing in the former Oceania qualifiers or in Asia now, the last of which was in the 2018 qualifiers, and the Syrian team overcame it in the Asian and then international playoffs against Honduras.
