Japan thrashed Indonesia 4-0 in Jakarta on Friday as Hajime Moriyasu's relentless side moved seven points clear at the top of Group C of Asia's 2026 World Cup qualifiers and another step closer to an automatic finals spot.

For the first time in the third round of Asian qualifiers, Indonesia were given a reality check by Japan.

The Socceroos were reeling after Graham Arnold's surprise resignation, but Tony Popovic has steadied the ship.
