The video then moves to the 2010 tournament in South Africa. It features Cahill's goal against Serbia, which occurred on June 20, 2010 [2]. This strike further cemented his reputation as a reliable scorer in high-pressure international matches.
The final goal showcased in the highlights took place during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Cahill scored against the Netherlands on June 18, 2014 [2]. By scoring in three separate World Cup tournaments, Cahill joined an elite group of players who have found the net in three different editions of the event.
