Socceroos star Matthew Leckie has shocker in front of goal in Germany

Socceroos fans would be best to avert their eyes when confronted with this footage of Matthew Leckie’s efforts in front of goal for his German club.

With the Socceroos heading into a pair of crucial World Cup qualifiers against Iraq and the United Arab Emirates over the next two weeks, Leckie’s efforts for Inglostadt were anything but inspiring.

Playing against Champions League quarter-finalists Borussia Dortmund, Leckie had a pair of great chances to score.

Sadly for the speedy attacking player, both shots sailed well over the bar. By well over the bar we mean high enough to bring rain. To make matter worse, Inglodstadt suffered a 1-0 loss.

With the Socceroos’ World Cup hoping in a precarious position heading into clashed with Iraq and the United Arab Emirates, Leckie and the rest of Australia will be hoping his work in front of goal improves.

Saudi Arabia and Japan are both one-point ahead of Australia with five matches remaining in the final stage of qualifying for Russia 2018.
