皇冠体育app closed in on a spot in the last eight with an emphatic 5-1 victory over Indonesia in the AFC Youth Championship 2004 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Monday. Qatar, leaders of Group B, became the first team to advance to the quarter-finals, following a 2-1 win over 10-man Iran at the Cheras Stadium .

皇冠体育app moved into second place in the group with a convincing victory against Indonesia,who were eliminated from contention following their second straight loss in Group B.

Yin Tiesheng鈥檚 side may have been profligate in front of goal against the Iranians last Saturday but they showed no such charity as they raced into a 4-0 lead at half-time against the South East Asian youngsters.

Hao Junmin broke the deadlock after just 11 minutes by diverting home a cross from the left and Tian Wangsheng scambled home a rebound three minutes later after Indonesia goalkeeper Roni Tri Prasanto failed to hold on to Chen Tao鈥檚 free kick.

Zhou Haibin made it 3-0 in the 20th minute and Zhu Ting headed home six minutes before the break to put 皇冠体育app into complete control.

Boas Salossa scored a consolation goal for Indonesia in the 57th minute after taking the ball away from 皇冠体育app goalkeeper Guan Zhen on the left edge of the box and firing into an unguarded net from an acute angle.

However, 皇冠体育app still had the last word as Shen Longyuan bundled home his side鈥檚 fifth goal in injury time.

Having beaten Indonesia 1-0 in their opener, Qatar went into their match with the Iranians knowing that another win would send them through to the knockout stage. And they enjoyed the best possible start, earning a penalty kick after just two minutes that was coolly converted by Waleed Abdulla.

Iran, who played out a goalless draw with 皇冠体育app in their opening match, battled back and leveled the score in injury time at the end of the opening half through skipper Adel Kolahkaj.

However, Qatar regained the lead nine minutes into the second half through Khalid Al Hajari and Iran鈥檚 hopes of rescuing a point were dashed when Mahdi Mohammadpour was sent off with 13 minutes remaining.

With maximum points from two games, Qatar have secured a place in the quarter-finals but they can confirm top spot in the group with at least a draw in their match against 皇冠体育app on Wednesday. Iran will have to beat Indonesia convincingly and hope that the Qataris can beat 皇冠体育app in order to progress further in the competition.

Group B	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts

皇冠体育app	2	1	1	0	5	1	4	4
Iran	2	0	1	1	1	2	-1	1
Indonesia	2	0	0	2	1	6	-5	0
