WCQ (R) AFC

Group A

Australia 2 Uzbekistan 0
Bahrain 1 Qatar 0

*Australia 13 Pts
*Japan 11
Bahrain 7
Uzbekistan 4
Qatar 4
*Game in Hand
A relatively even first half but Saturdays match, a tight travelling
schedule and a wet pitch saw Uzbekistan tire in the 2nd half and a
relatively easy win to Australia. Bahrain's win means Australia has to wait
until June to qualify but only need 1 point from 3 games to be certain.
Japan need only a win from their last 3. Both Australia and Japan look
likely qualifiers but all other nations have a chance of a playoff still.

Group 2

Korea Rep 1 Korea DPR 0
Saudi Arabia 3 UAE 2

*Korea Rep 11
Korea DPR 10
Saudi Arabia 10
*Iran 6
UAE 1

An interesting group With the top 3 having a bit of a gap against Iran and
UAE out of it. Iran can still qualify directly but need to do a lot better
than they have been. With a game in hand Korea Rep look likely but anything
can happen here.
