And here’s Emma Kemp’s match report from AAMI Park:
So, a comfortable win in the end, one that the Socceroos desperately needed. They’re back to winning form and, however briefly, they are back into second place - Japan, at half-time in their game against China, are leading 2-0. There were plenty of positives to take - some well-taken goals headlining - but also some possible cause for concern, given the way they allowed Vietnam to get back into the game after the break before the third went in. Still, a 4-0 win cannot be sniffed at, and Australia will head to Muscat for next week’s game against Oman in good spirits. That’s all from me for now. Stay tuned for Emma Kemp’s match report, coming right up. Cheerio.
