Olyroos captain Callum Talbot says rather than dwell on what might have been against Jordan, the Australians had to focus on delivering in two “massive” matches to ensure their Paris Olympics qualification dreams remained alive.

The Olyroos can ill afford another lacklustre attacking display at the under-23 Asian Cup if they are to remain in the race for a berth at this year’s Olympic Games.

Finishing fourth will force the Olyroos to qualify for Paris via a playoff against the fourth-placed African confederation nation, Guinea. Olyroos goalkeeper Patrick Beach, who like Talbot is part of Melbourne City’s A-League squad, said the Australians would not fall into the trap of underestimating Indonesia.
