Daggers double as Olyroos beat Thailand

Coach Graham Arnold is happy with the Olyroos' continued improvement after they boosted their Olympic qualifying bid with a 2-1 comeback win over hosts Thailand at the AFC U-23 Championship.

AUSTRALIA 

Tom Glover - 6

Glover's near post was left open which let Thitahon's speculative shot cannon off the post and into the path of Amornlerdsak who opened the scoring. 

Alex Gersbach - 6.5

A better defensive performance and a great cut-back to D'Agostino saw Australia take the lead and win the match. His crossing needed work but when the time came to set up the winner he delivered.

Tass Mourdoukoutas - 5

Mourdoukoutas' passing was poor, gifting possession away on a number of occasions and putting Australia in danger of going further behind in the second half. 

Dylan Ryan - 6

Ryan's defensive performance was sound. His first half was average but dramatically improved in the second. 

Thomas Deng - 6.5

Thailand threatened numerous times down the wing with their superbly gifted wide players. Deng's defensive mindset was key to ensuring Australia weren't outnumbered on the counter-attack. 

Joshua Laws - 5

Laws struggled in this match and never found his place in the match. He was substituted at half-time. 

Zach Duncan - 7

Duncan looks a quality player for Australia. His first half saw a key turnover leading to a Thailand chance but he broke the mould with runs from deep in midfield. 

Nick D'Agostino - 7.5

Who saw a brace coming from this man? The player with the least amount of gametime in the whole squad came up trumps with two great goals.

Daniel Bouman - 6

Bouman had a one-on-one chance go begging early in the match. It was Australia's only shot on goal until D'Agostino's equaliser. 

Jacob Italiano - 6

Many highly anticipated Italiano's start against Thailand. Unfortunately, while he looked dangerous at times, he didn't live up to the hype. 

Reno Piscopo - 7

Another great performance from Piscopo. He won the ball in midfield and sped away to set up the first goal before chipping over a Thai defender for Gersbach to set up the second.

SUBSTITUTES 

Denis Genreau - 7.5

Genreau was very clearly the catalyst for Australia's re-energised second half. He steadied the midfield, increased the tempo and kept things under control. He certainly didn't look 20-years old with that performance. 

Al-Hassan Toure - 6

The Adelaide United forward had another goal chalked off for a foul in build-up, with the same thing happening in the 1-1 opener against Iraq. The poor guy can't catch a break. 

Ramy Najjarine - N/A
