World Cup Qualifiers 2024 LIVE updates: ‘Very lucky to escape’: Socceroos, Saudis draw in chaotic late finish

This is only getting tenser and tenser, but I think this is shaping up OK for the Socceroos with 15 minutes to go.

They’re exhibiting far more control over this match right now than they were in the first half, although the Saudis do look very threatening on the counter-attack.

It’s now a matter of who can provide that bit of quality in the front third to break the deadlock?

The trouble there is that the guy who usually delivers, Craig Goodwin, is suspended, while another bloke with a fair bit of X-factor running through his veins, Ajdin Hrustic, has been subbed out.

Who else is capable of seizing this moment?
