Australia thrash Indonesia in AFC World Cup qualifiers
Briefly

Australia thrashed Indonesia 5-1, significantly improving their chances of finishing second in Group C and qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Early goals from Martin Boyle and Nishan Velupillay set the tone, followed by a brace from Jackson Irvine and a goal from Lewis Miller. While the team's performance is encouraging, skipper Mat Ryan cautioned that the scoreline may not reflect the game's true nature because Indonesia missed early opportunities. Australia now sits in a favorable position with 10 points and three matches remaining to secure a spot behind Japan in the qualifiers.
Two goals in two minutes helped Australia secure a 5-1 thrashing of Indonesia, enhancing their chances of World Cup qualification in 2026.
The emphatic win was important for Australia's momentum as they seek to automatically qualify for the World Cup in North America next year.
