Goalscorers: Connor Bunce (13′, 19′, 20′, 57′), Daniel Campbell (15′), Kaylan Van Heer (50′ (p), 56′); Ryosuke Miura (26′)
This was a game that would be vitally important for the final standings, and it was Australia who came out of the blocks firing.
A seven-minute hattrick to Connor Bunce – including a stunning long-range strike, and a back post volley – in the first half got the ball rolling for the CommBank Pararoos.
Ryosuke Miura gave Japan a lifeline at 4-1 but the home side added to their lead in the second half, with a Kaylan van Heer brace and a fourth goal for Bunce making it 7-1 at full time.
