South Korea and Saudi Arabia face off in a crucial match, while Japan, Iran, Australia, and Qatar look to advance against Bahrain, Syria, Indonesia, and Palestine respectively.

South Korea and Saudi Arabia, both looking to claim long overdue title triumphs, face off in the Asian Cup last 16, with the South Koreans posing a real attacking threat but having conceded six goals, the joint-third worst at the tournament.
Japan, the Asian Cup's record four-time champions, face Bahrain after a couple of hiccups in the group stages, but seem to have steadied the ship in their last outing.
Iran, with a golden generation of players, face Syria in what could be their last chance to end a 48-year wait for continental glory.
Australia, placed 25th in the world, face Indonesia, the lowest-ranked team in the competition at 146th, in a David vs. Goliath clash.
Qatar, as hosts and defending champions, face Palestine, who have reached the knockout round for the first time and have been a real feel-good story of the tournament.
