The Socceroos make one change at the start of the 2nd half as Carl Valeri comes on for Culina.
South Korea look to make the game safe as they push for another goal. A free-kick in a promising position is wasted as the ball gets blasted to the moon!
Ognenovski, already on a yellow, is lucky to still be on the pitch after a clumsy challenge as South Korea are surging forward with the ball.
A South Korean header in the 53rd minute goes over the bar. The Socceroos really need to do something to turn this game around.
Sung-Ryong makes a diving catch at his near post to deny Kewell an equaliser after Kewell's shot is deflected in the 57th minute.
Then in the 60th minute, some good dribbling by Park allows him to cut inside his defender and fire off a shot which Schwarzer parries away at the near post. The Socceroos defenders then help prevent a corner.
Now it is end-to-end action as Australia pick up a corner in the 62nd minute which Wilkshire takes. Cahill's header is deflected away towards the back post where Neill chests down the ball and lofts it back into the 6-yard box. Sung-Ryong makes the decision to come for it but Jedinak gets his head to the ball first and his looping header finds the empty net for his first ever international goal!
The South Koreans respond by bringing on two substititutes, Yeom Ki-Hun for goalscorer Ja-Cheol and Byung Soo Yoo for Dong-Won, who made the assist for Ja-Cheol's goal.
Australia is forced into a substitution as Wilkshire is unable to continue due to injury and on comes Jade North.
There is some friendly-fire in the 79th minute as Cahill and Ognenovski clash heads going for the same ball off a Socceroos corner. Ognenovski looks to have come off worse but picks himself up and is ok to continue.
With 10 minutes left the Mexican wave starts to go around the Al-Gharafa Stadium and it looks like the the fans here in Qatar are enjoying themselves!
Both sides though are still looking for a win to make their qualification for the next round easier.
The Socceroos have clawed back some possession in this match as statistics now show they have 49% of it.
A brilliant reflex save from Schwarzer denies Ki Sung-Yeung a potential winner as he dives low to his right and gets a hand to the ball. It does not look like he would have seen that shot coming with his own defender blocking his line of sight.
Valeri then has a volley from inside the 'D' but it is straight down the middle at Sung-Ryong.
With a couple of minutes left, it is the last throw of the dice for Osieck as he brings on Brisbane Roar's captain Matt Mckay for Holman. South Korea in turn bring on Yoon Bit-Garam for Soo Yoo who only came in the 2nd half himself!
After 4 minutes of stoppage time, the referee brings an enthralling match between two of Asia's powerhouses to a close!
So both teams are now on 4 points with Australia on top of Group C, ahead of South Korea by goal difference only. With Bahrain expected to defeat India later today, that would leave Bahrain on 3 points. South Korea should easily dispose of India in their last match of the Group which would then mean Australia has to either draw or beat Bahrain in order to qualify for the quarter-finals. If Australia draw, they would most likely finish 2nd in the Group and face a tougher challenge in the next round. If they win, then it will come down to goal difference.
Australia will be hoping history repeats itself having defeated Bahrain during their 2010 World Cup Qualifiers.
Catch you then!
