Riffa: Head coach Tony Popovic praised his team’s character after a rollercoaster encounter saw Australia claw back to secure a 2-2 draw against Bahrain in their AFC Asian Qualifiers™ – Road to 26 Group C encounter on Tuesday.

Kusini Yengi’s heroics saw him opening the scoring in the first minute and then strike again in second-half stoppage time to cancel out a quickfire brace from Mahdi Abduljabar.

Riffa: Australia will be determined to prove a point when they face Bahrain in their AFC Asian Qualifiers™ – Road to 26 Group C tie on Tuesday.

Bahrain inflicted Australia a losing start to their campaign when a Harry Souttar own goal saw them succumb to a 1-0 loss in Gold Coast in September but things have changed since then.

Tony Popovic has taken over from Graham Arnold as head coach with improvement also seen on the pitch as they picked up five points from their last three matches, including Thursday’s goalless draw with Saudi Arabia.

Popovic, Renard pleased despite stalemate

Melbourne: Australia's Tony Popovic and Herve Renard of Saudi Arabia were satisfied despite their sides sharing points in their AFC Asian Qualifiers™ – Road to 26 Group C match on Thursday.

In a match laden with chances, neither side could convert their opportunities as both moved to six points at the midway point with qualification still very much in their own hands.

Preview - Group C: Australia v Saudi Arabia

Melbourne: Australia will aim to extend their recent revival in the AFC Asian Qualifiers™ – Road to 26 when they host Saudi Arabia on Thursday.

One point from their first two Group C matches led to the departure of Graham Arnold with Tony Popovic’s arrival as head coach serving as a breath of fresh air as they claimed four points from October’s games against China PR and Japan.

The confidence gained from October’s results is something Popovic is counting on to deliver success against the West Asian side, who will have Frenchman Herve Renard in the dug-out following the departure of Italian Roberto Mancini.
