AFC 2026 qualifiers: Aussies let points slip with draws against Saudi and Bahrain
November 21 – Australia’s World Cup hopes remain in doubt after a 2-2 draw with Bahrain in Group C in the third round of World Cup qualifying.
The Socceroos needed a 96th-minute equaliser from Portsmouth striker Kusini Yengi to rescue a point in Bahrain. The visitors had taken an early lead through Yengi after a defensive blunder from the Bahraini, but they almost collapsed in the last 20 minutes. Substitute Mahdi Abduljabbar levelled before he scored a second three minutes later.
