After picking up seven points to top Group B earlier this month, the Socceroos' bid to win a second Asian Cup continued this weekend, taking on Indonesia at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar.

It turned into a comfortable outing for Graham Arnold's men, with Elkan Baggott's own goal putting them in front after 12 minutes. Martin Boyle's 45th-minute effort made it 2-0 before Craig Goodwin struck with a minute of normal time remaining. 

Harry Souttar's header added a fourth for Australia.

Souttar, meanwhile, rose highest in the 91st minute to head a fourth in for Australia, taking the centre-back's goals tally up to 11 from just 26 outings for his country. 

Saudi Arabia or South Korea await them now in the quarter-finals, a tie which is set to take place on Friday (3:30pm GMT kick-off). Make sure to check back to LCFC.com and @LCFC social for updates on Souttar's progress in Qatar.
