As a result, the White Wolves finished second in Group F and will give themselves every chance of advancing to the Quarter-finals.

END OF 90 MINUTES - This one is going all the way! The Socceroos were a different unit in the second half dominating possession and creating several opportunities in front of goal - they couldn't find a winner however and so it will come down to extra time. At the end of 90 minutes: Australia 0 Uzbekistan 0.
HALF TIME EXTRA TIME - After the first half in extra time we remain all locked up - with fifteen minutes to go, it is Australia 0 Uzbekistan 0!
END OF EXTRA TIME - After 120 minutes in Al Ain, nothing can separate these two sides so it will all come down to penalties with a quarter final berth on the line! After extra time: Australia 0 Uzbekistan 0.
