The Saudi national team stumbled in the last round of the Asian qualifiers. It was trapped in a goalless draw against the Bahrain national team, a match that saw coach Roberto Mancini sacked and France’s Hervé Renard reinstated.

The Aussies were also trapped in a positive draw against Japan, by the same goal, and will be looking to return to winning ways in this round.
