So very late last night Australian time, unfortunately the Aussie girls had their first loss of the
AFC under-16 tournament when DPR Korea came back to clinch a 4-3 win in the 85th minute. Australia

the 18th minute.

So Australia move through to the semis of the AFC under-16 women's championships as the only team
not to drop a game after beating Japan 3-1 in Thailand tonight. The two Korean teams, DPR Korea and
Korea Republic drew in their round game, so they both finished on seven points in Group A while
Australia topped Group B with a perfect nine points, three wins from three games.

out of their group.
