That&#39;s our immediate target but it&#39;s about building over a four-year cycle.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The home team took a 1-0 lead from a corner kick in the 27th minute. Matt Mckay connected a pass from Trent Sainsbury to tick the ball into the net.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Robbie Kruse soon expanded their advantage as he sprinted to fire home the ball after taking a penetrating flick pass from Massimo Luongo in front of the penalty area.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">In the first half added time, Mark Milligan&#39;s shot was disallowed but the referee pointed to the penalty kick spot instead. Milligan converted the penalty to give Australia a comfortable 3-0 lead in the first half.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;We weren&#39;t able to cope with the rhythm, the pace they have. They were too good for us tonight,&quot; said Oman&#39;s French coach Paul Le Guen at the post-game press conference Tuesday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;It&#39;s because they have the power, they have the fitness. Really they are the favourites of the competition. They have a good, balanced team,&quot; added Le Guen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Kruse was delighted with Australia&#39;s multiple-goal win. &quot;That&#39;s the best I can remember the national team play. They (Oman) barely had the ball, we pressed them until the end of the game and we created so many chances, I couldn&#39;t be more happy,&quot; said Kruse.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Tomi Juric&#39;s goal in the second half earned Australia a 4-0 victory. Australia will now face South Korea in Brisbane Saturday to decide who will be the leaders of Group A.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">A draw with South Korea will ensure the hosts top group position, but Postecoglou made it clear that he will be going for victory in Brisbane three days later.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;We&#39;ll go for a win. It&#39;s not the way I&#39;ve set up this team and it&#39;s not the way I coach. Whether we need a draw or whatever else, I&#39;m going to put a team out there to win a game of football,&quot; Postecoglou said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
