The Olyroos have qualified for the Tokyo Olympics after holding on for a 1-0 win over 10-man Uzbekistan in the third-place playoff at the AFC Under-23 championships in Thailand.
Nicholas D'Agostinho unexpectedly broke the deadlock by skipping past two defenders and neatly finishing in the 47th minute at the Rajamangala Stadium on Saturday night to qualify Australia's men for their first Olympic games in 12 years.
Despite Oybek Bozorov being sent off for a dangerous tackle on Zach Duncan in the 59th minute, Uzbekistan pushed hard for an equaliser, but the Olyroos managed to hold on for a nervy victory.
