💨 Abstract

Australia, struggling with a lack of clinical finishing, drew with Saudi Arabia in their World Cup qualifier on Thursday. They missed the creative presence of winger Craig Goodwin, who is set to return for their next match against Bahrain, a crucial game for the Socceroos' direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup finals. Despite remaining second in Group C, they are wary of Bahrain, who previously stunned them at home.
