Australia reached the knockout stage of the FIFA Under 17s World Cup in Mexico after a 1-1 draw with Denmark in their rescheduled Group F match.

An 89th minute goal to Luke Remington ensured a ten-man Joeys finished third in the group and progressed to a last-16 clash with Uzbekistan on Thursday (AEST).

Rochester Sorensen had earlier put the Danes ahead with a 35th minute strike in the match that was replayed after being called off after 25 minutes a day earlier due to heavy rain and lightning.

Australia had Yianni Perkatis shown a red card for a reckless tackle just a minute after conceding the goal.

Brazil topped Group F from Ivory Coast, while Denmark finished bottom of the group to be knocked out of the tournament.

Joeys get lucky break thanks to weather

Bad weather provided a lucky break for the Joeys when their crucial under-17 World Cup match against Denmark was called off with Australia behind 1-0.

Lightning and a heavy downpour at the venue in Queretaro, Mexico forced officials to suspend the match just 25 minutes in.

Following an hour and a half delay in which conditions did not improve, the organising committee decided to abandon the match and replay it entirely tomorrow at 12:45am (AEST).

Australia can not lose by more than three goals to the Danes in its the final group match if it hopes to be in the top three which progress through to the knockout stage.

Joeys told to improve

Joeys coach Jan Versleijen hopes his side's 1-1 draw with Denmark provides a wake-up call ahead of their elimination clash with Uzbekistan at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup.

The result enabled the Joeys to progress through to the round of 16 as the third-highest qualifier in Group F, but not before they received a timely scare at Estadio Corregidora in Queretaro, Mexico.

Going into the rescheduled match, the Joeys knew they only had to ensure they did not lose by three goals or worse to progress to the next round after Brazil and Ivory Coast had drawn 3-3 in the other group fixture.

Denmark looked to have the match in the bag after Sorenson Rochester's 35th-minute goal gave it the advantage.

And things threatened to spiral out of control for the Joeys immediately after the restart when Yianni Perkatis was sent off for a dangerous tackle, leaving them with 10 men for the rest of the match.

Fortunately they managed to stem the Denmark attack and a moment of individual brilliance from Luke Remington in the 89th minute allowed them to snatch a draw.

Versleijen was relieved his team managed a result but warned it could not afford another sub-par performance when it faces Uzbekistan at Torreon on Thursday (AEST).

"Denmark had lots of chances, but fortune favoured us today," he said.

"We'll have to play better in our next match, because we can't play like that again."

"That's what we'll work on in the next two days.

"We knew Denmark had to score three goals today. Our intention was to control the match, but apart from the first 20 minutes, we didn't succeed. Obviously, the red card made it even harder.

"(Goalkeeper) Paul Izzo made some good saves and Denmark had a lot of chances but the luck was on our side and once we scored near the end you know your qualification for the next round is certain."

The final group tie against Denmark was replayed in full after a heavy downpour and lightning forced officials to suspend the original match after just 25 minutes the day before with Denmark ahead 1-0.

Joeys crash out of World Cup

Australia was reduced to nine men by red cards as it crashed out of the under-17 World Cup with a 4-0 loss to Uzbekistan in the round of 16 in Mexico.

Goals in the 11th, 40th, 66th and 89th minutes put an emphatic end to the Joeys' campaign after they progressed to the knockout clash by finishing third in Group F.

Despite controlling possession in the first half, Australia was unable to create any scoring chances, with Uzbekistan the first to capitalise through captain Abbosbek Makhstaliev early in the opening stanza.

Uzbekistan doubled its lead when striker Timur Khakimov found the back of the net after his shot glanced off a Joeys defender.

The chances of a Joeys' comeback took a hit early in the second half when star striker Dylan Tombides was shown a red card for a reckless, studs-up tackle.

In the 66th minute, any chance of a Joeys fight-back was snuffed out when captain Connor Chapman deflected an Uzbek cross past Australia goalkeeper Paul Izzo for an own goal.

Uzbekistan capped off the nightmare match for the Joeys a minute before full-time, with a goal to Davlatbek Yarbekov.

Rubbing salt in Australia's disappointment, Teeboy Kamara was sent off for a second yellow card in the 91st minute.

Joeys coach Jan Versleijen said it was a tough way to bow out of the under-17s tournament.

"The way we got the goals against, that made it more hard to comeback and we already had to fight one hour against Denmark with 10 men," he said.

"To compete in this kind of competition you have to be more better in your ball circulation, you have to be more better in your execution, you have to be more better in possession.

"I think although we are out of the game, it's been a big opportunity for the boys."

Uzbekistan now faces either Congo or Uruguay in the quarter-finals on Sunday (AEST).
