Live updates: Socceroos take on Syria in second group game of Asian Cup

That was an intense 45 minutes of football. The Socceroos seemed to own the first half of that half, but Syria really were the more threatening in the second.

This is despite Australia dominating every category on offer: shots (6 v 4), possession (68% to 32%), passes (309 v 147), pass accuracy (85% to 70%) and corners (3 v 1).

I’m sweating. This is gonna be a cracking second half.

What did you make of that opening act? Log in and let’s debrief.
