Despite not featuring in Thursday's win over Bangladesh, the Hibs forward scored after providing two assists in the Socceroos' World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
Boyle set up two of Australia's three first-half goals, then netted his side's fourth after running behind the defence to tap home.
The victory extends the Socceroos' lead at the top of their second-stage qualifying group to 10 points.

Image source, SNSDavid Gray must aim for a third-place finish in his first season as Hibs head coach, says former Scotland defender Willie Miller.
The 36-year-old was given the role on a permanent basis on Wednesday and will work under sporting director Malky Mackay.
Miller believes the appointment is a risk, but says Hibs' financial standing means there must be lofty ambitions.
"I think it's a gamble because he's a rookie manager." the Sportsound pundit said.
"He knows the culture and the players, but until you're in that hot seat, there's nothing like it. Until you're the guy who has to take the bullets when things are going wrong, you don't know how you're going to react.
"All you can do it meet it with your personality. This one has to be right. He needs the support of the board and Malky Mackay.
"If he gets the support, it's down to him to get the result. Third sport has got to be the target, there's enough finance there at these clubs [Hearts and Aberdeen too].
"My only advice is don't expect anything other than a hard time if things don't go your way."
Image source, SNSDavid Gray's appointment as Hibs boss seems to have left some fans conflicted.
A club legend stepping into the role is always risky business, with the threat of a legacy tainted if things start to unravel.
On BBC Radio Scotland, Hibs fans Matty Fairnie and Colin Wilkinson of the Longbangers podcast, external were feeling positive about Gray's prospects on a permanent basis.
"It was one of those worst-kept-secret appointments," Fairnie said.
"I know some people felt we should have gone for a bit more experience, but Gray has been getting groomed for this role for four or five years.
"There's a whole structural change going on at Hibs. Malky Mackay has to make sure Gray's got all the support that he needs to succeed in the role.
"I think he's going to do a great job, I really do".
Gray took the reins at Easter Road on a caretaker basis on four occasions before finally being able to call the job his own.
Those experiences should serve the 36-year-old well after working alongside a variety of coaches, says Wilkinson.
"He will have learned a lot under the managers he's worked with at Hibs," he said. "He'll know what not to do.
"If we brought an outsider in, we'd be saying they need time to build the squad. Gray will know who needs to go and who he needs to bring in."
Image source, SNSFormer Hibs boss Neil Lennon admits he held "brief" talks with the Easter Road club over the recently vacant managerial position.
The 52-year-old was linked with a return to Leith after Nick Montgomery was dismissed in April, though club legend David Gray has now been given the job on a permanent basis.
As Lennon heads to Romania for a new challenge with Rapid Bucharest, he says his second spell at Celtic would have made him think twice about coming back to the capital club.
"With Hibs there was a lot of speculation, which is flattering," he told BBC Radio Scotland. "Again, a brief conversation but nothing materialised.
"It's a different club from the one I worked at. Different board, different owners. The club have made their decision and you've got to respect that.
"Would I have gone back? I don't know. I loved my time there but it's never the same the second time. I learned that at Celtic.
"I've done a lot in Scottish football, this is a chance to broaden my horizons."

David Gray’s status as a Hibs legend will count for little if he fails to hit the ground running in his tenure at head coach.
That’s the verdict of former Scotland and Chelsea winger Pat Nevin, who is a Hibs fan and hopes rookie boss Gray can make the most of a “tough gig” at a club that have churned through five managers in fewer than five years.
Speaking on the BBC’s Scottish football podcast, Nevin said: "If you don't start well, the fans can turn.
“Also, the board's not for waiting a long time. It's one of those clubs that does seem to change very, very quickly.
“And it's difficult to build a team. If you're going into management, what you want more than anything else is time. You want time to get the team playing your style, but also getting your type of players in.
"And it usually takes a minimum of a year, a season, but probably more than that and just these days with most clubs you don't get that if it doesn't go well at the start.
"Maybe Hibs in particular, you get very very little time and they just seem to switch it around. I find it an odd way to do it but give him a chance, although he'll need to start off well."
Hibernian have added £1m to David Gray's playing budget after giving him the head coach job permanently and aim to appoint Heart of Midlothian B team boss Liam Fox as his assistant, are keen to make Liam Craig a first-team coach, while Aberdeen goalkeeping coach Craig Samson is also being considered.

The decision to appoint (Sir) David Gray as the new head coach at Hibernian has raised a few eyebrows among the support.
His lack of experience, the fact he’s just starting his UEFA pro licence, and his association with the failed management teams of recent years have all been cited as reasons why he shouldn’t get the job.
There is validity in all of those points, in fairness. However, the case for Gray stands up to scrutiny and I think he’s exactly what the team needs, despite those reservations.
Gray has been a leader at the club since arriving as Alan Stubbs’ first signing in 2014.
In 2019, nearing the end of their playing careers, both Gray and Darren McGregor were given four-year deals, with Hibs saying the long-term plan was to give them “positions within the club that make the most of their experience and leadership qualities”.
This is a move that has been five years in the making. Gray’s leadership qualities were evident as a player – he knew just the right time to smash into a tackle to lift the crowd and the team; a stern, no-nonsense character who kept a ‘lively’ side including John McGinn, Jason Cummings and Anthony Stokes on track.
We have seen in his interim spells that he can win games, bearing in mind he has invariably had to take over at times of crisis. It’s clear he understands the game in this league and how substance over style tends to get results more often than not.
While several fans have raised questions about the appointment, there are no doubts that every supporter is right behind him.
A club legend for that goal in 2016, there will not be any Hibs fan who doesn’t want Gray to be a roaring success in the hotseat. I’ve every confidence he will be.

If there were any Hibernian fans calling for a hero revitalise their club, they now have the epitome of one in the managerial hotseat.
After four stints as interim boss, David Gray is getting his chance to take the reins on a permanent basis.
Desperate or a shrewd new sense of direction? Time will tell.
As a head coach his credentials are still unclear, but the former right-back achieved legendary status as a player and captain at Easter Road.
The main reason for that? Bulleting in a header to win the 2016 Scottish Cup while wearing the armband.
After a turbulent four years, during which Hibs have burned through five managers, the fans now have an iconic figure to rally round, even if his experience in the dugout is limited.
The worry for supporters in situations like these, however, is the risk of that hero's reputation becoming tarnished.
But a look across the city shows taking a gamble on a young coach, and former player, can be a success.
Across four separate spells as interim manager, Gray's record stands at five wins, three draws and two defeats from 10 league games.
There's also a narrow League Cup final defeat to Celtic back in December 2021 to add to that - a painful but valuable experience - as well as a 3-0 Europa Conference qualifying loss at Aston Villa.
Stretching that league form over a 38-game season will be the challenge for the 36-year-old, whose immediate task is to bring stability to a club in desperate need of it.
Image source, SNSBBC Scotland will continue to broadcast live matches and highlights from the Scottish Cup for another five years.
The new deal extends the BBC's arrangement of showing a game from each round - up to and including the final - on a free-to-air platform.
The contract also allows the broadcaster to produce "near live digital highlights".
The Scottish Youth Cup final will also be shown live for the next five years.
