Australia skipper Tim Cahill remains positive despite being beaten by South Korea in their final group game of the Asian Cup.

Australia captain Tim Cahill is looking to remain positive despite suffering a 1-0 defeat to South Korea in their Asian Cup match.

The Socceroos forward is urging his teammates to look forward to their knockout game with China in the quarter-final stage of the competition.

The hosts lost their first match of the tournament on Saturday as Lee Jung-Hyub scored a first-half winner to see South Korea top Group A and leave Australia a difficult path to reach the final.

"We now have to get up and go again. We've got China in five days and, the way I see it, we did not take our chances tonight and, if we had taken one of them, we would have been on our way to Melbourne [to face Saudi Arabia or Uzbekistan]," the 35-year-old told reporters.

"That was not to be but we still have a lot left in the tournament and tonight it would have been good to get that result.

"If we got the draw we deserved it would have been fine. Korea are a good football team and played really well, they crowded their third of the pitch and were physical."

Australia coach Ange Postecoglu used Cahill as a substitute in the game, with the skipper coming on with 20 minutes left to try to salvage a point.
