In the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, Australia have advanced to the knockout stage as group B runners-up after overcoming Syria 3-2.

But parity was restored within just 2 minutes when Omar Khribin found the net on a rebound. Australia stepped up the pressure after the break and made it 2-1 through Chris Ikonomidis.
The Syrians rallied once again in the 80th minute, when Omar Al Somah sent the Australian keeper the wrong way to convert from the spot. And finally, Tom Rogich bagged the 3rd, deep in injury time to seal the win for Australia.
