Blues centre-half Cameron Burgess played the full 90 minutes as Australia drew 2-2 with Bahrain in a World Cup qualifier this evening.

Kusini Yengi, brother of former Town striker Tete, scored both goals for the Socceroos, scoring in the first and 96th minutes, the hosts having netted on 75 and 77.

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.

bobble added 07:27 - Nov 22 Linkboy..the arab nations are getting stronger ever year with their spending ,so any draw in their difficult climate is a good result..its easy to be a critic from afar but football is only the 4th or 5th most popular sport in australia, and have england won anything in the last 50 years despite football being the number 1 sport in your nation ?
