The Syrian national team suffered a significant defeat against its Australian counterpart, losing 0-1 in the match held today, Thursday, as part of the second round of Group B in the AFC Asian Cup. The "Kangaroo" team owes its victory to player Jackson Irvine, who scored the only goal of the match in the 59th minute, at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Qatar.
With this win, Australia achieved its second consecutive victory after the first against India with a score of 2-0 in the opening round, and currently leads Group B with a perfect score of 6 points, having already qualified for the Round of 16 regardless of the results of other matches. Meanwhile, Syria faced its first loss after drawing in the opening round against Uzbekistan without goals last Saturday, leaving them with just one point, placing them third in the standings, awaiting the outcome of the other match between India and Uzbekistan later today.
