Australia, Iran and South Korea reach next year's World Cup in Brazil.

Australia, Iran and South Korea all booked their places in next year's World Cup in Brazil earlier today.

The Aussies reached the main competition thanks to a 1-0 victory over Iraq as Josh Kennedy headed in the only goal of the game with just seven minutes left to play.

The other two sides met in Ulsan, with Iran running out 1-0 winners. That means that they go through as group winners, with South Korean having to make do with a runners-up spot.

Consequently, Uzbekistan have dropped to third and will now take on a South American side for the right to advance through to Brazil.
