The Australian national team won 2-0 over India today, Saturday, in the match that was held at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in the first round of the group stage of the Asian Football Cup in Qatar.
Australia took the lead with the first goal in the 50th minute through Jackson Irvine, before Jordan Boss added the second goal in the 73rd minute.
The first half of the match ended in a goalless draw, despite Australia almost completely controlling all of its events, but its players were unable to decipher the strong Indian defense, which was valiant in preventing more than one dangerous opportunity.
With this victory, the Australian national team earned the first 3 points in the group stage of the Asian Cup, leading the second group, which also includes Syria and Uzbekistan, before facing them later today, Saturday.
