An impressive Australia crush India 4-0 to get their AFC Asian Cup campaign off to a decisive start with red-hot Everton star Tim Cahill collecting two goals.
Played at an Al-Sadd Stadium packed with noisy expatriate Indians, a convincing win was needed by the Socceroos to demonstrate their tournament credentials against a team ranked No.142 in the world.
And Australia delivered comfortably, with the dangerous Cahill, playing up front as the lone striker, a constant threat.
