World Cup 2010 Qualifying: Asia - Group 1

The top two teams in the group automatically qualify for the 2010 World Cup and the bookies' favorites must be Australia managed by Pim Verbeek and Japan. Japan, however, look unconvincing under coach Takeshi Okada (back for a second spell in charge of the national team) and Bahrain are a threat to cause an upset. Uzbekistan scored lots of goals in the previous qualifying round but look vulnerable away from home. Qatar have made progress but look the lightweights in the group.

Bahrain 2 v Japan 3
A great start for Takeshi Okada's team as Celtic's Shunsuke Nakamura scored from a trademark freekick to lead Japan to a 3-0 lead before Bahrain came back to ensure a nervy finish.

Qatar 3 v Uzbekistan 0
Qatar were impressive winners in Doha. Majdi Siddiq, Magid Hassan and Talal Albloushi on target for the hosts.
