At 23:30 GMT on April 21, 2024, Qatar U23 hosted Australia U23 in the 3rd round of the group stage of the U23 AFC Asian Cup, with the final score set at 0-0 after both sides failed to score.
In this match, although the Australian team had 75% of the possession of the ball and finished with 20 shots, including 6 on goal, they unfortunately failed to capitalize on their chances and failed to score a single goal. Qatar, on the other hand, fielded a number of substitutes after advancing to the last eight in the early rounds, but still managed to hold on to the ball and keep the 0-0 scoreline until the end of the match.
The draw was a heavy blow to the Australian team. They failed to win and score in the first two rounds of the tournament, so after this match, they have two points and are third in the group, out of the running and out of early qualification for the Paris Olympics.
