Australia Unchanged for Asian Cup Final
Hosts Australia named an unchanged starting eleven for the Asian Cup final against South Korea on Saturday, while the Koreans made just one alteration for the heavyweight clash in Sydney.
South Korea coach Uli Stielike brought in Jang Hyun-Soo for Han Kyo-Won in midfield, in the only tweak to the side which beat Iraq 2-0 in the semi-finals as they bid to win the competition for the first time since 1960.
Australia boss Ange Postecoglou put his faith in the same line-up who saw off the United Arab Emirates in the last four in their quest to win a first Asian title since leaving Oceania in 2006.
