Livingston striker Tete Yengi has put scoring on his "dream" debut for World Cup-bound Australia against Switzerland down to being "a long guy". The 25-year-old had scored only twice in 23 games last season with a Livingston side rooted to the bottom of the Scottish Premiership by the time he joined Machida Zelvia on loan in January.
