BANGKOK: Australia claimed Asia's third and final qualifying berth for the Tokyo Olympic Games on Saturday when a fine solo effort from Perth Glory's Nick D'Agostino earned Graham Arnold's side a 1-0 win over Uzbekistan at the Asian Under 23 Championship.
Uzbekistan's hopes were all but extinguished before the hour mark when substitute Oybek Bozorov was sent off for a dangerous challenge on Zachary Duncan six minutes after stepping off the bench. Jasurbek Yakhshiboev squandered a pair of chances early in the first half, finding the hands of goalkeeper Thomas Glover with a header before bending a shot from the edge of the area wide when he had had the time to find the corner of the net.Australia offered little in the final third of the first half after seeing D’Agostino's fifth-minute header chalked off by referee Mohammed Hassan for a foul on Nematov.
