Wasteful Socceroos draw, disappoint coach

Toothless Australia failed to score for the second World Cup qualifying match in succession, as they were held 0-0 by a gutsy Indonesia in Jakarta on Sept 10.

The Socceroos dominated in front of almost 80,000 fans at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, but Indonesia remain above them in Group C as they seek to qualify for the World Cup for only the second time.

It was Indonesia's second draw after a 1-1 result in Saudi Arabia last week, but Australia were shocked 1-0 at home by Bahrain in their World Cup qualifying third-round opener.

"Extremely disappointed, because how many chances do we create? How many chances do we get?" said Socceroos coach Graham Arnold.

"The boys put in the effort, and they all admitted their performance wasn't good enough in the first game. There's eight games to go. It's not like it's a disaster, but I've got to go home and do a lot of thinking." Arnold made five changes to his line-up with highly rated Bayern Munich teenager Nestory Irankunda given a chance to shine from the start.

Kusini Yengi was suspended after his red card against Bahrain, while central defender Alessandro Circati was again deployed as a makeshift right-back.
