In a heart-stopping contest, Qatar relied on Avenal's pinpoint penalty in the overtime period to complete a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Jordan.
Qatar's grasp of the corner kick attack was undoubtedly crucial in this campaign, and their clever use of gaps in front of the field to create a lot of trouble for the Jordanian defense was particularly commendable.
The win sealed hosts Qatar's early qualification for the knockout stages, however, they will need to maintain their previous competitive form and Zanzibar will undoubtedly be the key to the team's creativity.
Meanwhile, Australia unexpectedly lost 0:1 to Indonesia in the second round of the group stage and missed a penalty kick in the second half. The Kangaroos now have only one point in the group stage and have no points to show for it.
Australia's performance was undoubtedly disappointing, with Mohammed Toni's missed penalty having a profound effect on the team, who failed to convert chances into goals despite creating them.
In the face of adversity, Australia will have to go all out to turn things around in the coming matches. At the same time, we are also looking forward to the outcome of the other match in the same group in our favor to help us advance to the next round. However, I am sure that Mohamed Toni will be able to regroup and make a significant contribution to the team.
