FOOTBALL – Saudi Arabia fought back to earn a 3-2 win over Indonesia in Group B of Asia’s World Cup qualifiers yesterday as Feras Al Brikan’s double boosted their hopes of securing a place at next year’s finals in North America.
Kevin Diks had put Indonesia ahead from the spot in the 11th minute but Saleh Abu Al Shamat levelled six minutes later before Al Brikan scored either side of halftime to secure the points despite a second Diks penalty two minutes from time.
Saudi Arabia next face Iraq in Jeddah on Tuesday and know that a win over Graham Arnold’s side will guarantee their place in December’s draw for the finals in the US, Canada and Mexico.
