Indonesia vs Australia

Australia's quest for World Cup qualification continued to falter as they were held to a 0-0 draw against Indonesia in Jakarta, marking their second consecutive match without a goal. Despite dominating possession with 63% and registering 20 shots, the Socceroos struggled to convert their chances into goals, a recurring issue highlighted by coach Graham Arnold. Indonesia's goalkeeper Maarten Paes was instrumental in securing the draw, making five crucial saves that denied Australia. The result leaves Australia in fifth place in Group C with just one point, while Indonesia sits fourth with two points. Both teams displayed moments of attacking intent, but ultimately, neither could find the back of the net. Australia will need to regroup quickly as they strive to secure their sixth consecutive World Cup appearance.
