AUSTRALIA vs UZBEKISTAN – Socceroos AFC Asian Cup fan cam match vlog and highlights 🇦🇺 v 🇺🇿

Australia take on Uzbekistan in their final group stage game of the afc ASIAN CUP 2023 being played in Doha Qatar at the al janoub stadium. The socceroos win 1-0 thanks to a contentious penalty decision given by VAR where uzbekistan defender was deemed to have handled the ball in the area after some neat skill from Yengi. The subsequent spot kick was converted by Martin Boyle. Uzbekistan and Australia both had goals also ruled out for offside however Turgunboev has the equalised to make the score 1-1 with a great header.

With both teams already qualifying for the AFC ASIAN CUP 2024 round of 16 this match still holds some importance as it is the decider for who will finish top of group B and go on to face the best third place team from groups A, C or D. Graham Arnold’s side are won of the favourite to win the tournament and continue their rich run of form from Qatar, after a stellar FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign. Meanwhile Uzbekistan will look to leap frog Australia into top stop of group B and cement their place as a tournament dark horse and perhaps go one further than their previous best placed semi-final finish. Australia had a disappointing run at the 2019 Asian Cup, losing to UAE in the quater finals but now hope to amend for that shock loss by reaching the latter stages of Qatar 2023. Jackson Irvine has the opportunity to make it 3 goals from 3 matches today in what has otherwise been a rather toothless display in attack, meanwhile much of the Socceroos side will be rotated after the team has already qualified. Nathaniel atkinson, Riley Mcgree, Keanu Baccas and Yengi all come into the starting 11 and have a chance to cement their place in the starting side going forward.
