Australia crushed its opponent 14-0, setting a record for the biggest win in the history of the U23 Asian qualifiers.

TPO - This afternoon, the first match of the 2026 U23 Asian qualifiers took place and in the earliest match at 2:30 p.m. between U23 Australia and U23 Northern Mariana Islands, a new record was set.

The kangaroo country won 14-0. They just broke the record for the biggest win in the U23 Asian qualifiers, when Iraq beat Macau China 13-0 in the 2024 qualifiers.

The gap between the two sides is huge. Australia is a powerhouse of the AFC while the Northern Mariana Islands has just joined the Asian federation and is often considered a "point mine" for the rest. Within the first 12 minutes, Australia scored 3 goals against their opponents. Just like that, each attack was a time when the kangaroo representative caused trouble for the opponent's goal. They ended the first half with a score of 7-0.

Australia scores almost every time they attack.

In the second half, Australia's attack showed no signs of slowing down. They often forced their opponents to pick the ball out of the net. By the 55th minute, 3 more goals were scored to give Australia a 10-0 lead and by the 71st minute the gap was 13-0.

In the last 20 minutes, Australia had the mindset to relax. They did not play too aggressively, besides changing many key positions to rotate the squad. However, in the extra time, this team still scored 1 more goal to seal the 14-0 victory. They officially broke the record for the match with the biggest margin in the history of the U23 Asian qualifiers.

This year, Macau, China, Brunei, Bhutan... continue to participate and fall into a group with strong opponents. It is not impossible that the 14-0 score that Australia just established will be broken.
