Staged at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, one of the venues for the last FIFA World Cup, the Socceroos made the perfect start, courtesy of second-half goals from Jackson Irvine and Jordan Bos.

Souttar played the full 90 minutes in Rawdat Al Jahhaniya on his 23rd outing for Graham Arnold's men. The Australians are looking to win their second Asian Cup crown this winter, last lifting the trophy in 2015. 

Their Group B campaign continues on Thursday with a test against Syria, before taking on Uzbekistan a week on Tuesday (both 11:30am GMT kick-offs). Make sure to check back into LCFC.com for updates of Souttar's Asian Cup journey.
