A quick summary of action around the AFC second group phase on FRI 08 JUN 2012.

• Japan 06-00 Jordan: The Samurai Blue extend their lead atop Group B with a heavy win over Jordan. Abdallah DEEB’s sending off in the first half hinted that it was to be the home side’s day, as Keisuke HONDA was the hat trick hero.
• Lebanon 01-01 Uzbekistan: The visiting Uzbeks took the lead early from Jasur HASANOV, but in the 34th minute, Ali AL SAADI placed a free kick perfectly around the defensive wall to equalise. Both sides earn their first point in Group A.
• Oman 00-00 Australia: Oman had already defeated the Socceroos in the first group phase, and here they had the opportunity to do it for a second time. But Mark SCHWARZER turned in a man of the match performance in the Aussies’ goal, featuring a brilliant reflex save to prevent Amad AL HOSNI’s header from finding net.
• Qatar 01-04 Korea Rep: Yusef AHMED put the home team up midway through the first half, but it would not end that way. Club teammates LEE Keun Ho, KWAK Tae Hwi, and KIM Shin Wook combined for all four goals as Korea Rep pulled into a three way tie for the Group A lead.
