Waitakere United has won through to FIFA's Club World Cup for a second successive season hammering Kossa FC 5-0 in Auckland on Sunday.

The win gives Waitakere United a 6-3 aggregate win after they lost the opening match in Honiara 3-1 a fortnight ago.

Waitakere defender Neil Emblen says despite the one-sided nature of the score line, they're a little relieved having squandered a number of opportunities.

He says he missed a few chances as well but it's great they're heading back to Japan.

Waitakere United's goals came through Benjamin Totori and Chris Bale in the first half, with Allan Pearce grabbing a double and Jack Butler netting after half time.

Waitakere collects US$500,000 for the win and a ticket to Japan for the Club World Cup at the end of the year.
