Saudi (13 pts, 0 GD) won 2-0 in Bahrain, but Australia (16 pts, +8 GD) now basically on the plane to North America next year
They just need to avoid defeat in Saudi in a few days, by 8 goals or more!!
The Saudis should watch Khalil Media's videos of their 5-0 shellacking by the AWs in 1981 to give themselves hope!!

The result means that - if Australia avoid defeat by a significant margin against Saudi Arabia next week - they will finish second in Group C, and therefore qualify for their sixth successive World Cup.
