For the victory
Oman will try to get the last victory at home despite being already eliminated, although they proved that they can fight anyone and their mission will be to qualify for the 2026 World Cup to be played in Canada, USA and Mexico.
Qualified
Iran, South Korea, Japan and Saudi Arabia are the teams that qualified directly for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Australia will play the re-qualification against the third team of Group A, which seems to be the UAE.
The results
These were the results in the Asian qualifiers today:
Japan 1-1 Vietnam
Iran 2-0 Lebanon
UAE 1-0 South Korea (Second Half)
Syria 1-1 Iraq (Second Half)
Last game China
Meanwhile, China salvaged a 1-1 draw at home against Saudi Arabia with a late penalty kick, highlighting the fact that they have only won once in this group stage.
Last game Oman
Last Thursday, Oman was able to return to winning ways after a narrow away victory over Vietnam with a goal by Al-Hajri.

Oman 1-1 China, World Cup Qualifiers 2021.
Oman 3-1 China, Friendly match 2008
Key player China
Zhu Chenjie is the leader of the defensive backline and the official penalty taker for the team, remembering that, through this channel, they achieved a 1-1 draw at home last Thursday against Saudi Arabia.
Key player Oman
Khalid Al-Hajri was the hero in the last game against Vietnam, where they won by the minimum difference thanks to his goal in the final stretch of the match, so he will be looking to score again in this match.

China: second win
China, like their opponents, have been in the same situation of being eliminated for several dates, however, the performance of the red team has not been as expected and they were far from the stipulated objectives, although they have just managed to rescue a 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia.
Oman: farewell with a win
Although Oman had a decent performance, it was not enough to compete for World Cup places and fell far behind Arabia, Australia and Japan, which is why they will try to bid farewell to their fans with a victory.
The Kick-off
The Oman vs China match will be played at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex Stadium, in Mascate, Oman. The kick-off is scheduled at 12:00 pm ET.
