Setback for Australia after Oman draw, while South Korea book their World Cup spot
Australia's hopes of automatic qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar were rocked by a late Abdullah Fawaz penalty as Oman claimed a 2-2 draw with Graham Arnold's side in Muscat on Tuesday. Jamie Maclaren's 15th-minute penalty put Australia ahead but Fawaz levelled with a drive into the top corner in the 54th minute.

Australia remain third in Group B of the Asian qualifiers but are now four points behind Saudi Arabia and three adrift of Japan, with games against the leading pair to come in the final two rounds of games in March.
