Australia U23's victory saw striker Nathanael Blair score a poker (four goals). Four players – Jing Reec, Ethan Alagich, Yaya Dukuly, and Joshua Rawlins – each scored a brace. The remaining two goals were scored by Rhys Bozinovski and Aydan Hammond.
Thus, on average, the Australian U23 team scored a goal against the Northern Mariana Islands every six minutes. This is truly an incredible performance.
The Northern Mariana Islands are a member of the East Asian Football Confederation. The Northern Mariana Islands national team is currently not ranked by FIFA.
The Australian U23 team made history by achieving the biggest win in the history of the AFC U23 Asian Cup qualifiers. Also late on September 3rd, the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Cup qualifiers witnessed another resounding victory when Qatar U23 defeated Brunei 13-0.
The 2026 AFC U23 Asian Cup qualifiers will feature 44 teams, divided into 11 groups. After the qualifying matches, the 11 group winners and the 4 best-performing second-placed teams will qualify for the finals in Saudi Arabia.
In the most recent AFC U23 Asian Championship, Vietnam U23 easily qualified for the tournament. In the finals, Vietnam U23 reached the quarter-finals before losing 0-1 to Iraq U23. Iraq U23 subsequently finished third in the tournament.
