VIDEO: Australia open Asian Cup with win

Tim Cahill and Mile Jedinak got on the scoresheet as host nation Australia opened the 2015 AFC Asian Cup with a 4-1 win against Kuwait.

However, it was not all plain sailing as the Gulf state took the lead before the game was 10 minutes old as Ali Hussain Fadhel headed in a corner.

However, Australia's talisman Tim Cahill scored his first goal of the tournament to equalise on 33 minutes.

The Socceroos went into the half-time break in front when Massimo Luongo scored on 44 minutes.

After the break, Crystal Palace midfielder Mile Jedinak converted a penalty to make it 3-1 and James Troisi rounded off the scoring in stoppage time.

Australia's group rivals South Korea are up against Oman tomorrow.
