Striker Ben Folami came on as an 86th-minute sub as Australia’s U23s beat 10-man Uzbekistan 1-0 in Bangkok this afternoon to secure third place at the AFC U23 Championship and claim a place at this summer’s Olympics in Tokyo.
Nicholas D'Agostino netted the game’s only goal for the Olyroos in the 47th minute. Uzbekistan sub Oybek Bozorov was sent off in the 59th minute, six minutes after coming off the bench.
Folami, who has now been capped five times at U23 level, made three appearances in the competition, all as a sub.
