"Australia can only blame themselves for their defeat on home soil, generating an expected goals (xG) total of 0.79 from the 11 shots they registered in the encounter. They also managed 20 touches in the opposition's penalty area, compared to Bahrain's four, while also ending the contest with 71% possession."
"It marked a nightmare start for Australia in the third round of the 2026 AFC World Cup qualifiers, with both Japan and Saudi Arabia to come."
