World Cup 2018, Denmark vs Australia: Best and Worst players from the match

#1 Best - Mathew Leckie (Australia)

Leckie worked tirelessly for Australia

Mathew Leckie was quite easily Australia's best player on the pitch and worked tirelessly on the right flank, running up and down relentlessly, throughout the full 90 minutes.

The winger was involved in the heart of almost every move orchestrated by Bert van Marwijk's side during a compelling afternoon and showed unreal work rate as Australia clawed their way back into the game.

Eventually, it was Leckie's header that awarded the Socceroos with a lifeline after the referee made a retrospective decision to award a penalty in favour of them.

Despite not grabbing a goal or an assist, he was almost unplayable on the night and looked dangerous every time he got a sniff of the ball.

Leckie, who created the highest number of chances for Australia in Brazil four years ago, produced one of his best ever performances in national colours as he weaved in and out on the flanks.
