Australia sealed their place in the Round of 16 with a 1-0 win over Syria in their Group B Round 2 match.
The Kangaroos were restricted by Syria's tight defense for most of the game, but with perseverance and aggressive play from Martyn Paul, they were able to score the winning goal.
Australia made a lot of mistakes in the first half, but Martin Bauer's courage and determination to "blow away" the opponent helped the team to turn the situation around.
Uzbekistan got their first 3 points of the tournament with a 3-0 win over India. However, they might be disappointed that they could only draw with Syria in their first match, but they have a number of attacking players in their squad, and they seem to have a lot of confidence when they go on the pitch. Against India, they were able to take advantage of their opponent's weaknesses and created a lot of chances.
Uzbekistan is in the second place in Group B. If they win or draw this game, they will go through with Australia. Considering that the Kangaroos only need a draw, I don't think there will be too many openings in the opponent's defense. Fischoff has the ability to contribute in these situations and I think he will be the key man for Uzbekistan.
