Ho Chi Minh City: Adelaide United goalkeeper Paul Izzo and midfielder Jake Barker-Daish, who are both in the Reds' preliminary squad for their 2012 AFC Champions League quarter-final against Bunyodkor, played key roles as Australia hammered hosts Vietnam 4-0 in their second match of the four-team AFF U19 Tournament.
Izzo came in for Nick Munro following the Young Socceroos' 2-1 defeat to Uzbekistan in their opening match and produced some fine saves from striker Nguyen Xuan Nam and skipper Que Ngoc Hai as Vietnam applied the early pressure.
Ryan Edwards put Australia 1-0 up in the 31st minute before Barker-Daish, who joined Adelaide United in April from the now-defunct Gold Coast United, got his name on the scoresheet eight minutes into the second-half.
Jesse Makarounas capitalized on a defensive error to make it 3-0four minutes later with an 86th minute own-goal from Vietnam defender Dao Duy Khanh completing the home team's misery.
