Fifa will conduct a "routine" investigation into Bahrain's 10-0 victory over a weakened Indonesia team in a World Cup qualifier on Wednesday.

"Given the unusual outcome in relation to the results-expectation and head-to-head history, and in the interests of maintaining unequivocal confidence in our game, Fifa Security will conduct a routine examination of this game and its result," said a Fifa statement.
