The own goal by the Socceroos in the 89th minute came as a crushing blow, marking Bahrain's first-ever victory over Australia, highlighting the Socceroos' shortcomings.
Despite controlling the game with 70% possession and more than double the passes of Bahrain, Australia's inability to convert this into goals cost them dearly.
Kusini Yengi's red card and the defensive blunders exhibited by the Socceroos underscore a need for improvement moving forward in the World Cup qualifying rounds.
