The Socceroos led from start to finish with goals from Mathew Leckie, Fran Karacic and Martin Boyle to seal top spot in Group B with 21 points from seven matches to book their place in the final round of the Asian Qualifiers and confirm their seat to the AFC Asian Cup China 2023 Finals.

Mathew Leckie, Fran Karacic, Martin Boyle were on target for Graham Arnold’s side as they made it seven wins out of seven to book their spot in the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and berth in the AFC Asian Cup China 2023 Finals.

Nepal, meanwhile, ended their campaign in fourth with six points.

The goalless draw means that Jordan face a must-win situation when they play their final fixture against group winners Australia on Tuesday to stand a chance of grabbing one of the five spots available for the best runners-up in the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

For Kuwait, the shared points means their FIFA World Cup dreams are over with the West Asians now advancing to the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the AFC Asian Cup China 2023.

Liu Binbin and Wu Lei gave their team a two-goal half-time lead before A Lan, Zhang Yuning and Tan Long completed a comfortable night’s work for a Chinese squad attempting to keep the country’s hopes of FIFA World Cup qualification alive.

The win moves China PR onto 16 points from their seven games so far and their third victory in a row means they go into their final match against group winners Syria on Tuesday with significant momentum. The result also guarantees the Philippines finish third in the group.

The five runners-up with the best records will join seven of the eight group winners – FIFA World Cup hosts Qatar will not feature in the final round despite finishing on top of Group E - in the next phase.

The win took Iran to 15 points and with Iraq - who defeated Hong Kong later on Friday to stay two points ahead at the top - up next on the final day of the Asian Qualifiers, a win for Team Melli will mean finishing as group winners.

Cambodia, meanwhile, ended their campaign with just one point to their name from eight matches.

The win means Saudi Arabia go into their final game against Uzbekistan with 17 points from an unbeaten run of seven matches, with a draw in four days’ time enough to secure the top spot while Singapore end the campaign on seven points.

With Qatar having sealed top spot in Group E with an unassailable 22 points, Oman's hopes depend on them finishing as one of the best five runners-up and Branko Ivankovic's men saw off an Afghanistan side who will now have to defeat India in their final match on Tuesday to finish third and book a spot in the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the AFC Asian Cup China 2023.

Oman, with second place confirmed, play bottom-placed Bangladesh in their final game.
