Australia remain second in the group but now a point clear of the teams behind them following Saudi Arabia’s 2-0 defeat in Indonesia. Burgess, 29, was winning his 13th full cap.
Elsewhere, Ali Al-Hamadi wasn’t involved as Iraq won 1-0 in Oman, also in a World Cup qualifier. The Iraqis are also now second in their group.
Meanwhile, young keeper Woody Williamson was an unused sub as Scotland’s U19s drew 0-0 with France in a Euro 2025 qualifier in Falkirk. Despite the impressive result against the French, the Scots finished third in the group.
