Australia U20 earned a solid 2-0 win against Macau U20 in their AFC U20 Asian Cup qualifying match on September 25, 2024. The Young Socceroos secured the expected three points with a professional, if not spectacular, performance to begin their qualification journey. Australia created numerous chances but found a stubborn Macau defense difficult to break down initially, taking a 1-0 lead into halftime. They doubled their advantage in the second half to ensure a comfortable finish to the match. While the scoreline may not reflect total dominance, the clean sheet and efficient victory provide a stable platform for Australia's campaign. For Macau, limiting a powerhouse like Australia to two goals could be seen as a minor positive to build upon defensively.
