World Cup Qualify AFC - Australia 4 Jordan 0

Former Premier League stars Tim Cahill and Lucas Neill got on the scoresheet as Australia enjoyed a routine 4-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Jordan.

Bayer Leverkusen-bound Fortuna Dusseldorf winger Robbie Kruse set up midfielder Mark Bresciano and New York Red Bulls' Cahill for goals in each half before scoring his own in the 76th minute, with captain Neill putting the icing on the cake six minutes from time at Melbourne's Docklands Stadium.

The win put Australia into second place in Asia's Group B on 10 points, with a victory over Iraq in their final qualifier in Sydney next week certain to seal the group's second direct berth to Brazil. Japan have already qualified in top spot.

Jordan, on seven points, are likely to need a home victory over third-placed Oman in their final qualifier and for other results to go their way to keep their hopes of a maiden World Cup appearance alive.
