Australia only needed four minutes to take the lead, forward Jovanovic easily beating a Kyrgyz Republic defender before unleashing a right-footed shot from just outside the box.

The goal stung Kyrgyz Republic into action, but attempts by strikers Yryskeldi Madanov and Umar Madavinov and midfielder Baybol Ermekov were either off target or blocked by keeper Steven Hall.

Australia piled on the pressure, and struck again in the 15th minute when Benne picked up a loose ball in the centre of the box and gave custodian Aziret Ysmanaliev no chance with a shot into the bottom left corner.

The Young Socceroos found their third in the 26th minute when Jovanovic let fly with a shot that was saved, only for Toure to pounce on the rebound and coolly put it past a lunging Ysmanaliev. 

Toure, a constant threat to Kyrgyz Republic, scored again in the 31st minute when he found space on the left, outran defender Ivan Nastaev and drilled the ball between Ysmanaliev’s legs.

Kyrgyz Republic went on the offensive after the break, but it was Australia who scored again in the 60th minute, a reverse of their third goal that saw Jovanovic latching onto a saved Toure effort and putting the ball past the diving keeper.

Kyrgyz Republic pulled one back in the 73rd minute when Beknaz Almazbekov converted a penalty after a foul by defender Panagiotis Kikianis but that was as far as they got.

The Central Asian side must quickly pick themselves up for the Matchday Two clash against China PR on Saturday while Australia will aim for another three points against Qatar.
