TOKYO (AFP) -- Japan completed the Asian second qualifying round for next year's Beijing Olympics by defeating Malaysia 3-1 on Wednesday for a perfect record of six straight wins.

The Japanese opened the scoring in the 28th minute when Iwata midfielder Kota Ueda fired a cross from the right to Meiji university defender Yuto Nagatomo, whose diving header beat the Malaysian goalkeeper.

Another university student, Shuto Suzuki, then drilled in a sizzling left-footer from outside the penalty area in the national stadium in Tokyo to make it 2-0 in the 33rd minute.

Malaysia, who had a mathematical chance of making it to the final qualifying round, only managed a couple of shots in the first half.

The visitors worked hard in the second half, but lost their patience and started to play rough. Six Malaysian players were booked.

Aidil Zafuan sliced Nagatomo down in the penalty area and Hiroki Bandai converted the spot-kick in the 53rd minute.

Malaysian skipper Subramaniam Sooryapparad avoided a whitewash when he later found the back of the net after some goalmouth confusion.

The visitors also missed a great chance in the 71st minute when Idlan Talaha intercepted a Japanese pass and was through one-on-one against Japanese keeper Kaito Yamamoto but failed to capitalize.

The draw for the final round, which will start August 22, will be held next Wednesday.
