heres a short match report if you missed the game:
Australia faces another heart wrenching penalty shootout after extra time in its Asian Cup quarter-final with Japan ended 1-1.
John Aloisi gave the Socceroos a second half lead when he converted from harry Kewell's corner but Japan responded within 120 seconds when Naohiro Takahara goalled.
In the 75th minute Vince Grella was dismissed for a seemingly innocuous aerial challenge with Takahara, with the referee saying the Socceroos midfielder had elbowed the Japanese dangerman.
But the Socceroos showed enormous heart as they held the Japanese to 1-1 after 120 minutes, with Mark Schwarzer proving the hero with a series of enormous saves.
time to get some sleep, asian cup and umat are really getting to me
