(CNN) -- Tim Cahill scored twice as Australia opened their Asian Cup campaign with a convincing 4-0 win over India in their Group C match in Doha Monday.
The Everton star opened the scoring in the 11th minute as he netted at the near post after a fine cross from Brett Emerton.
Galatasaray's Harry Kewell doubled the advantage with a fine long-range strike midway through the half, his 14th goal for the Socceroos.
Emerton laid on the third just before halftime with another cross from the right which was met by the head of Brett Holman. CNN
