Thailand 2020 quarter-finals lineup confirmed as Uzbekistan to face UAE

The successful duo join Australia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Korea Republic and Uzbekistan in the last eight with a place in the competition’s semi-finals – as well the potential of moving a step nearer to sealing a place at this year’s Olympics – at stake.

United Arab Emirates reached the last eight after finishing top of the Group D standings despite being held to a 1-1 draw by second-placed Jordan on Matchday Three. Prior to that result, Maciej Skorza’s side had drawn 0-0 with 2018 runners-up Vietnam and beaten DPR Korea 2-0.

After recording a draw and a win, Group C runners-up Uzbekistan also sealed their place in the last eight on Matchday Three when, despite losing to Korea Republic, they advanced on goal difference after nearest rivals Islamic Republic of Iran could only beat China PR 1-0 in the group’s other game.
