With Saudi Arabia 1-2 Australia, the latest standings of the Asian World Preliminary Tournament: 6 teams go through, 6 teams are out!

On June 11, Beijing time, the third stage of the Asian qualifiers for the World Preliminary Championships has ended, with Saudi Arabia's 1-2 defeat to Australia, so that all 6 direct tickets for this tournament have been generated, 6 teams have entered the fourth stage of the play-offs, 6 teams have been eliminated home, and the top 48 of the World Cup has also produced 11 seats!

Saudi Arabia against Australia. Both teams are Asian powerhouses, with Saudi Arabia third in the group and Australia second after the first nine rounds, and the two teams are also battling for the last direct place in the World Cup. Australia have a three-point lead in qualifying and a goal difference, so Australia can be said to have one foot in the World Cup. In addition to winning against Australia, Saudi Arabia also has to win more goal difference, which is super difficult, so Saudi Arabia is likely to play the play-offs!

After the start of the game, the Saudi Arabians playing at home were fierce, dominating possession and constantly threatening the Australian goal. In the 19th minute, Al-Dosari broke through with the ball to the bottom line and assisted Aboud to open the scoring for Saudi Arabia, and the situation was very favorable. However, Australia counter-attacked very sharply, and in the 42nd minute, Duke's brilliant pass set up Metcalfe to score in the box to equalise. In the second half, Australia were awarded a free-kick opportunity, and Boyle found Zuoduke with a header. In the 51st minute, Malahi almost received a red card for a foul in the penalty area, and Saudi Arabia escaped. In the 85th minute, Al-Dosari fell to the ground in the penalty area, but his penalty was cruelly rejected by the opponent's goalkeeper, and the supplementary shot failed to score, and finally Saudi Arabia was reversed by Australia 1-2 at home!

As a result, all six direct tickets for this tournament have been produced, namely Japan, Australia, Iran, Uzbekistan, South Korea and Jordan, and the traditional semi-finals must be stable, while Uzbekistan and Jordan are both entering the World Cup for the first time in history. Six teams were eliminated, namely the national football team, Bahrain, Kyrgyzstan, North Korea, Palestine and Kuwait. There are also six teams in the fourth stage of the play-offs: Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Iraq and Oman. The six teams will be split into two groups, with the top team going to the World Cup, while the second team will play a two-legged knockout round at home and away, with the winner securing a place in the intercontinental play-offs!
