Goals from Brisbane Roar duo James Donachie and Jamie Maclaren gave the Olyroos a 2-0 victory over Vietnam at the AFC U-23 Championships in Doha to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for Rio.

After losing their opening group game against UAE 1-0, the Olyroos capitalised on their dominance at set pieces, scoring both goals from corners.

Only a win in their final game against Jordan on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) will guarantee the Olyroos a passage to the knockout stages of the tournament, which doubles as an Olympic qualifier.
