A quick summary of action around the AFC second group phase on SUN 03 JUN 2012.

• Japan 03-00 Oman: Keisuke HONDA, Ryoichi MAEDA, and Shinji OKAZAKI all found net in a Japanese romp that puts them atop Group B.
• Jordan 01-01 Iraq: In the group’s other match, Nashat AKRAM put Iraq ahead in the 14th minute. Just before halftime, Baha ABDELRAHMAN’s shot from distance was stopped by Iraq keeper Mohammed KASSID, only for the rebound to fall to Ahmad HAYEL, who made no mistake and finished.
• Uzbekistan 00-01 Iran: The Uzbeks thought they would surely take the lead in the 74th minute when Alexander GEYNRIKH’s free kick found Odil AKHMEDOV in the area. His first shot struck the post, and when it bounded back to him, his follow up was cleared off the line by defender Jalal HOSSEINI. Iran would punish the unlucky home side as Mohammed Reza KHALATBARI scored deep into stoppage time.
• Lebanon 00-01 Qatar: Iran are joined atop Group A by the Qatari side, who were gifted a goal by Lebanon defender Ramez DAYOUB. Early in the second half, his pass across his own area was taken by Qatar’s Sebastian SORIA, who scored easily around keeper Ziad EL SAMAD.
