The Shanghai Shenhua- based Cahill scored the second goal for Australia just after half-time following a 40th-minute penalty by skipper Mile Jedinak and finished off by a 69th-minute own goal from defender Ildar Amirov.

Kyrgyzstan’s Viktor Maier appealed to the referee for a penalty when Preston North End defender Bailey Wright put his arm across his chest in a tussle for the ball, but it was turned down in their only major scoring chance of the first half.
