The Socceroos’ 2013 East Asian Cup hopes will go on the line tonight when they face the freewheeling DPR Korea in Hong Kong.
The match begins at 11.30pm AEDT, and we’ll have live scores and commentary from kick-off.
After 5-0 and 6-1 wins over Guam and Chinese Taipei respectively it is safe to say the DPR Korea stand as the side most likely to edge out Australia for the fourth 2013 East Asian Cup spot.
Given the Socceroos’ scratchy 1-0 over Hong Kong on Monday night, where they needed an 86th-minute goal from Brett Emerton to seal all three points, it is reasonable to be cautious of the Koreans.
But all is not lost for the Socceroos. It must be noted that the surface of Mong Kok Stadium was hardly fit for a Sunday league game let alone a competitive international fixture.
The Socceroos still managed to pass the ball around reasonably well and as a makeshift side, will have learnt a great deal.
With Richard Garcia playing the majority of Monday night’s match and Brett Emerton working tirelessly for 90 minutes Holger Osieck may elect to make changes.
Even in a 10-minute period in which he was used as a substitute, Tom Rogic still managed to light up the game, and fellow young gun Aaron Mooy could also step into the middle of the park.
Given the relative anonymity of Chinese Taipei and Guam it is difficult to know exactly how well the Koreans are travelling.
That said, the Socceroos will need to lift to find all three points and set one foot in the door of qualification.

FULL TIME: DPR Korea 1-1 Socceroos
And so it ends 1-1. Archie Thompson kicked things off with a goal inside the first five but for long spells in this match it was the DPR Korea who looked the more energetic side and they held far more of the ball then the Socceroos. Into the second half it was speculated the tired bodies of the Australians would begin to fatigue and so it was the case, with a goal after 64 minutes just deserts for the Australian back four, which dropped far too deep.
With Australia set to end up level on points with tonight’s opponent should they beat Guam and Chinese Taipei, qualification will more than likely come down to goal difference. With DPR Korea already on +10, the Socceroos may need to win their last two by a collective margin of 15 goals.

Sorry to say, but the blame lies with Holger for that. Played the same 10 outfield players from 2 days ago. Made 2 out of 3 subs, and then only after the North Koreans equalised, when it could be seen that they were on top by that stage and we need to wrestle control of the game back.
He needs to go before the WC 2014 and def before Asian Cup 2015

Ouch. That was probably the chance. Rogic releases Franjic who whips a cross to the back post, and McKay crashes his shot over the bar and into the top of the net. Disappointing result, and the image of Osieck on the sideline probably indicates that.

DPR Korea have continued to spray semi-dangerous shots from 20m at Mat Ryan even this late on, but the result is much the same.
The fourth official has indicated there will only be three minutes.

Two minutes of regulation plus what I’d guess will be three of four and we are seemingly edging toward a draw. Australia were in a great position here at 1-0 up and really should have done better to manage that lead.

Well well. After making three comical substitutions the DPR Korea have no subs left and one of the Koreans is stretchered off with what seems to be an injury. No matter, he hops off the stretcher and runs back onto the pitch.

84′ DPR Korea 1-1 Socceroos
HUGE chance for the Socceroos. Rogic beats his mean out wide on the left, drives a cross at the keeper who spills into the path of Taggart. There is strong contact with the DPR Korea defender and Taggart can’t get his shot off and the ball falls to Emerton, who tries to replicate Monday’s goal with a curling left effort but it sails over the bar. Australians want a penalty but they are waved away and probably rightly so.

Would Babalj have buried that? I would think so.

Your guess is as good as mine. Does anyone understand why Holder makes the selections he does?
On another note, I think Matt Smith has been very solid in both games and could be called up to the next training camp with the full squad – see how he goes there.

As it stands, Australia would likely finish level on points with DPR Korea with expected wins over Guam and Chinese Taipei. With DPR Korea having a goal difference of +10, and Australia +1, the Socceroos would need to better the DPR Korea goal difference by ten plus whatever they beat Hong Kong by in their final match.

A DPR Korea is down after running into Michael Thwaite, and DPR want the free kick, but they’re denied by the referee. 15 minutes to go. Australia will have their chances, but whether they can execute is another issue.

Australia starting to see al ot more of the ball in their opponent’s half and a lot is coming through Rogic. One really must ask why he wasn’t brought on earlier.
Following a blocked Michael Thwaite cross the Socceroos have a corner, which comes to Rogic, his shot is blocked, he recovers and the Socceroos play out of trouble.

Quality play on the byline from Behich, dragging the ball nimbly inside his defender and cutting the ball back to Thompson, who tries to shoot off balance and can’t make a decent connection yet alone hit the target.

Sixty minutes in and Osieck has avoided going for fresh legs as yet. His opposite number, on the other hand, has made tactical substitutions on 23 and 45 minutes, with the second sub coming at half time as Tae Sung, a substitute himself, was hauled off for an early shower.

Socceroos again under the pump, Thwaite is cautioned for pulling back a Korean attacker by the shirt. Free kick is from deep, but put high over the bar, and Australia withstand another relatively harmless attack.

Decent cross coming into Mat Ryan’s near post but the header isn’t on target and it ends up being a goal kick. Australia need to be better, and that’s highlighted when the Socceroos go on to turn it over and allow a shot just inside the area. It will be a long 35 minutes if they continue to defend like that.

Emerton seizes on a 50-50 ball and again looks to deliver to Archie from a deep position. Doesn’t work this time but they had been rewarded several times in the second half so it was worth asking the question again.

Australia begin the second half as they did the first, and McKay is down the left and attempting to square the ball back. Two Socceroos are looking for it but he can find neither.

HALF TIME: DPR Korea 0-1 Socceroos
Australia looked to jump out of the blocks in the first five and they were rewarded with an Archie Thompson goal in the fourth minute but since then DPR Korea has looked the better of the two sides, and Australia look content to sit back and try and counter. So far it is all well and go but as fatigue sets in it will be interesting to see how the back four holds. We can wait and see.

It’s Archie again, and it’s again off the efforts off Emerton. He whips in a low, dipping cross toward the front post and Archie stoops, and dives acrobatically.
