Dominant win for Young Roos

5 November 2011-AAP

The Young Socceroos waltzed through their second game at the Asian Football Confederation U-19 Championship qualifiers in Kuala Lumpur with a 12-0 thrashing of Macau.

The Australians scored twice in the opening seven minutes and led 7-0 at halftime, Anthony Proia finishing with four goals.

Jesse Makarounas and Adam Taggart bagged doubles while James Donachie, Paulo Retre, Corey Brown and Jason Geria added singles.

Outgoing coach Jan Versleijen said the game had served as a handy warm-up for the tougher tasks ahead.

"Now the tour really begins with games against the stronger Indonesia and China," he said. "These will be the deciding matches."

The Young Socceroos top group G and next face Indonesia on Sunday at 5pm AEDT.

The top two teams from each group progress to the AFC U-19 Championship 2012.

The AFC U-19 Championship 2012 will serve as the qualifying event for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which will be held in Turkey.
