DOHA: Marcello Lippi announced he was quitting as China coach after his team fell to a 2-1 defeat by Syria in 2022 World Cup qualifying on Thursday .

Syria opened their account in the 19th minute when Mahmoud al-Mawas' cross from the right was expertly headed past goalkeeper Yan Junling by a towering Osama Omari. Mohanad Ali had put Iraq ahead in the 11th minute on for Ahmad Nourollahi to equalise in the 25th minute. It was Australia's fourth consecutive win, taking their tally at the top of Group C to 12 points, with Kuwait and Jordan five adrift.

But after Eldor Shomurodov struck in the 16th minute, taking advantage of a poor backpass by Yasir al-Shahrani to put Uzbekistan ahead, it took the Saudis only six minutes to draw level.
