Australia vs South Korea in the 2015 Asian Cup final

Defeating UAE 2-0, Australia won a ticket to the final match of Asian Cup 2015. The opponent of the kangaroo team is South Korea, the team that defeated Iraq with the same score.

Australia are on the verge of winning the 2015 Asian Cup on home soil.

Australia entered the semi-final with many advantages. In addition to the return of center-back Spiranovic, who had completed his suspension, the team from the land of kangaroos was also supported by the 21,079 home fans. Things were even more favorable for Australia when they opened the scoring in the third minute. From a corner kick by Mile Jedinak, Trent Sainsbury jumped high and headed the ball into the far corner, leaving the UAE goalkeeper helpless.

Exactly 10 minutes later, the gap was doubled for Australia. Robbie Kruse and Mathew Leckie launched two consecutive close-range shots that failed but defender Davidson was there in time to kick the rebound. This was Davidson's first goal for the Australian team.

With nothing to lose, the UAE went all out on the attack. However, the team that eliminated Japan in the semi-finals after a penalty shootout was unable to penetrate Australia's well-organized defense once.

“It’s great to have qualified for the final on home soil,” said Davidson, who scored the 2-0. “We knew the UAE were tired after the hard-fought match against Japan, so we decided to push forward and attack right from the start. This tactic worked brilliantly as the goal came very early. However, the dream has only just begun, ahead of me and my teammates is a very tough final.”

Australia's opponents in the 2015 Asian Cup final on January 31 will be South Korea, a team they lost 0-1 to in the group stage. South Korea entered the final with an impressive record: they have not conceded a single goal.
