Iraq 1 - 1 Japan
this is not a good result for Japan!!! KSA and Australia now have advantage!!
Good job Iraq and khak too sar UAE! They also tied Thailand 1-1. Seems like Japan now have the hardest way of direct qualification as they need to face both Australia and KSA when those two will have one easy game each against Thailand and UAE. This is how the standing looks like:
Japan 17, +9 (v. Australia and at KSA)
KSA 16, +7 (at UAE, v. Japan)
Australia 16, +6 (at Japan, v. Thailand)
In other group Syria is leading China 1-0 (50'). I'd love to see them finishing third instead of Uzbeks.
