:Australia will take on Peru next week for a place at November's World Cup finals after beating the United Arab Emirates 2-1 on Tuesday in Asia's final eliminator for Qatar 2022.

The Australians increased the pressure throughout the second half and it eventually paid off when Hrustic volleyed towards goal following Aaron Mooy's corner and the deflection off Salmeen proved decisive. The lead lasted four minutes as Suhail's pace proved problematic once more. The Shabab Al Ahli winger curled in a cross and Caio eventually drove his left-foot shot into the roof of the net.
