Beaten once in R32 loss
Beach made three saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-1 (5-3) penalty shootout loss to Egypt.
Analysis: Beach was one of the main reasons why Australia didn't lose in regulation against the Pharaohs, but inexplicably, he was subbed off before the shootout. Beach arrived to the World Cup as the projected third-string goalkeeper but ended up making four starts, keeping two clean sheets and allowing just three goals.
Clean sheet with crucial stop
Beach recorded two saves and allowed zero goals in Thursday's 0-0 draw versus Paraguay.
Analysis: Beach had a comfortable night as Paraguay played conservatively in a game where a draw suited both sides, but he was alert when it mattered, producing a crucial save late on when Paraguay pushed for the win and dealing with another effort from distance. It has been an impressive tournament for the goalkeeper who now has two clean sheets to his name and has helped his side qualify for the knockout stage.
