Australia comfortably got past Indonesia with a 4-0 victory in the round of 16. That cannot be said of South Korea, who needed a 99th-minute equaliser by Cho Gue-sung against Saudi Arabia, before winning on penalties. The Socceroos have also had two days extra of rest.
Tigers of Asia goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo emerged as the hero, saving two penalties in the shootout. However, he was only in as a replacement for Kim Seung-gyu, who tore his ACL earlier in the tournament. Wolves star Hwan Hee-Chan, who scored the winning spot kick, starts for the first time this tournament.
This is a heavyweight quarter-final clash. Indeed, these sides previously met in the final of this competition back in 2015. The Socceroos, playing on home soil and led by current Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou, prevailed on that occasion. Can Son and co. get revenge and bring home their country’s first AFC Asian Cup title in 64 years?
Here's how they line up:
Australia: Ryam; Atkinson, Rowles, Souttar, Behich; Metcalfe, Baccus, Irvine; Boyle, Duke, Goodwin
South Korea: Cho; Kim Tae-Hwan, Kim Young-Gwon, Kim Min-Jae, Seol Young-Woo; Park Yong-Woo, Hwang In-Beom; Lee Kang-In, Son-Heung Min, Hwang Hee-Chan, Cho Gue-Sung

For instance, an Aussie who's currently away from home could watch Australia vs South Korea live streams on 10Play with a VPN.
VPNs are inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices, and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
