Patrick Beach
TRO
Makes one save in loss
Beach had one save and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Lens.
Analysis: Beach made no more than one save for the fifth time in 11 starts. He conceded his second-most goals in the season during the road loss. The goalkeeper will now look to bounce back at Toulouse on Saturday.
Concedes twice without save
Beach had no saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Marseille. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 96th minute.
Analysis: Beach failed to make a save while allowing two goals during Sunday's 2-0 home loss to Marseille. He was beaten by Amine Harit's back-post finish early in the second half before Himad Abdelli converted a stoppage-time penalty to seal the result. Troyes limited Marseille to only five shots and two on target, but both efforts that reached the target resulted in goals. Beach will look to show a better figure in Saturday's clash against Lens.
Makes one save in loss
Beach recorded one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Angers.
Analysis: Beach made no more than one save for the second time in five starts in 2026-27. The goalkeeper has only one clean sheet over that span. He will now look to bounce back in a tougher matchup against Marseille on Sunday.
Beaten twice in defeat
Beach made four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus Lille.
Analysis: Beach made four saves in Sunday's 2-0 Ligue 1 defeat at Lille, denying Ayase Ueda at point-blank range in the 40th minute and keeping Troyes within one goal until the 90th minute before Ethan Mbappe's stoppage-time goal sealed the result. He was beaten by Tiago Santos' 18th minute first-time strike into the top corner and was powerless on Mbappe's 90+3 close-range finish. Beach will look to show a better figure in Saturday's clash against Angers.
Six saves in heavy defeat
Beach recorded six saves and allowed six goals in Sunday's 6-2 loss versus Strasbourg.
Analysis: Beach made six saves in Sunday's 6-2 Ligue 1 home defeat to Strasbourg, keeping Troyes competitive with stops during a first half the home side dominated before being beaten twice in two minutes just before halftime by Jacobo Ortega in the 40th and Diogo Sousa in the 42nd. He was powerless on Giovanni Reyna's 57th minute third goal and Samuel Amo-Ameyaw's late brace, with each goal stemming from defensive breakdowns on the counter rather than individual errors from the goalkeeper. Beach will look to show a better figure in Sunday's clash against Lille.
Four saves in win
Beach had four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Lorient.
Analysis: Beach was sharp throughout the match, making three diving saves while the goal he conceded came off a deflection that left him with little chance. His 83.3 save percentage across two Ligue 1 appearances since joining from Melbourne City reflects a strong start to his European career. His next fixture against Strasbourg, who sit 10th in the standings, will be a step up in quality but another opportunity to build on his early form.
Logs one-save clean sheet
Beach recorded one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Paris FC.
Analysis: As expected, it looks like Beach will be Troyes' first-choice goalkeeper after a solid World Cup with Australia and subsequent transfer. For his team debut, all he needed to stop was an Ilan Kebbal shot, and the goalkeeper already has a clean sheet. Whether the goalie can maintain his strong form remains to be seen, and his first chance to replicate Saturday's performance will come Aug. 29 at Lorient.
Completes Troyes switch
Beach has completed a permanent transfer to Troyes on a five-year deal until the end of the 2030/31 season, his new club announced Sunday.
Analysis: Beach was one of the biggest surprises in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, entering the tournament as the Socceroos' third-string goalkeeper and starting in each of the team's four matches ahead of Mathew Ryan. A transfer to Europe was on the cards after a series of impressive displays, and he's expected to be Troyes' No. 1 goalkeeper in the 2026/27 season and beyond.
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.
Concedes twice in loss to USMNT
Beach recorded one save and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-0 defeat versus USA.
Analysis: Beach gave up two first-half goals, but it's hard to blame him for that outcome. The first was an own goal, and the second was an Alex Freeman header from very close range. Beach seems to have won the starting nod over Mathew Ryan, but it remains to be seen if he'll stay in the XI in a must-win game against Paraguay on Thursday, June 25.
Incredible performance on Sunday
Beach registered eight saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Turkey.
Analysis: Beach was Australia's standout performer, registering eight saves and a clearance. He had to work hard for his clean sheet, preventing 1.5 expected goals (xG). His saves included an incredible stop of a Hakan Calhanoglu free kick in the 86th minute. Beach was the star for what was only his third international appearance. An unexpected starter ahead of veteran Mathew Ryan, he repelled everything Turkey threw at him.
