The 4-1 win secured the Philippines' qualification to the knockout round from group A while Indonesia's elimination was also confirmed at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila.

Indonesia went into the half-time break 1-0 up thanks to Carla Patinnasarany who dispossessed Inna Palacios in front of goal and easily finished to give her side a shock lead.

However, it was not long before the hosts equalised courtesy of Tahnai Annis.

Following that the hosts asserted their dominance with Sarina Bolden bagging an eight-minute hat-trick with the first inside 58 minutes.

Substitute Sara Eggesvik was to thank for the first as she went on a mazy run beating multiple defenders before putting it on a plate for Bolden.

Thailand occupy second place, the last qualification position for the semi-finals, after cruising past Malaysia 4-0 at Biñan Football Stadium.

Australia Under-23s maintained their challenge for a top-two finish in group A as they beat Singapore 4-1 in the capital.

The Matildas then got their third goal of the game moments after the break.
