The Socceroos faced a disappointing 0-0 draw against Indonesia in their recent World Cup qualifying match, leaving them winless and goalless after two games. Following a shocking 1-0 loss to Bahrain, Australia's hopes of qualifying directly for the 2026 World Cup are dwindling, as they sit fifth in Group C with just one point. Despite dominating possession and taking 19 shots, Australia struggled to break through Indonesia's defense, with Nestory Irankunda hitting the post being their closest chance. Indonesian goalkeeper Maarten Paes made several crucial saves to keep the score level. With only the top two teams qualifying directly, pressure mounts on coach Graham Arnold as Australia prepares for a must-win match against China next month. The team must improve their finishing to avoid further setbacks in their campaign.
