• Indonesia 0-0 Australia: Wasteful Socceroos play out stalemate

  Australia's wastefulness in front of goal cost them in World Cup qualifying once more as they drew 0-0 with Indonesia on Tuesday.

  Nestory Irankunda came closest for the Socceroos, hitting the woodwork, as Graham Arnold's side failed to pick up their first win in the third round of the 2026 AFC World Cup qualifiers. 

  Indonesia had an early flurry of chances, with Sandy Walsh and Rafael Struick both testing Mat Ryan inside the opening 17 seconds.

  Australia dominated after that though, with Harry Souttar seeing a couple of efforts saved in quick succession before Irankunda struck the woodwork from range just after the half-hour mark.

  The visitors pushed for an opening in the second half but struggled to create many chances of note as Craig Goodwin had Australia's only shot on target after the break. 

  Witan Sulaeman almost snatched it at the end, but missed a glorious chance in the dying seconds, poking a close-range shot wide of the near post under no pressure. 

  Data Debrief: Socceroos fire another blank

  Australia suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Bahrain in their last match, with a Souttar own goal compounding their misery that day.

  And their lack of a clinical edge cost them once more against Indonesia, as they had 19 shots (five on target); they last recorded more without scoring against the United Arab Emirates in January 2019 in the Asian Cup (22).

  Meanwhile, Indonesia's defence stayed resolute, but they offered little in terms of attacking threat, managing only two shots on target, which both came within a second of each other.

• Haiti, St Lucia stay perfect as Puerto Rico, Curacao secure first wins in League B

  Haiti and St Lucia maintained pole position in their respective League B groups as they registered their second win of the Concacaf Nations League campaign, while Curacao and Puerto Rico notched their first victories on Monday.

  St Lucia edged Grenada 2-1, while Curacao blanked St Martin 4-0 in the Group B double-header at Kirani James Athletics Stadium in St. George's.

  With the win, St Lucia moved to six points as Curacao rose to second on three points, same as Grenada, who slipped to third. St Martin is the only team in the group yet to get on the board.

  Meanwhile, Haiti hammered St Maarten 6-0 and Puerto Rico clipped Aruba 1-0 in their Group C encounters at Estadio Centroamericano in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico.

  Haiti now sit on six points and Puerto Rico inched up to second on three points, same as third-placed St Maarten, while Aruba remains at the foot of the standing without a point.

  Curacao vs. St Martin

  Curacao’s clinical victory over St Martin, kept their hopes of League A promotion alive.

  Juninho Bacuna opened the scoring in the 10th minute when he outpaced defenders and slotted home on a transition play.

  Gervane Kastaneer doubled the lead in the 13th when he converted on a second attempt after his initial shot was blocked.

  Leandro Bacuna added a third in the 48th with a firm finish from deep inside the 18-yard box, before Joshua Zimmerman headed home from a weighted cross in the 65th minute to cap the win.

  Haiti vs. St Maarten

  Favoured to top Group C and reclaim their rightful spot in League A, Haiti moved closer to achieving the feat with another dominant performance.

  Duckens Nazon led from the front with a second half hat-trick, while substitute Mikael Cantave had a brace.

  Attys Christopher opened the scoring in the 40th when he headed home from a corner kick.

  From there, it became the Nazon show, as he also headed home in the 59th minute, with his second and third coming in the 75th and 82nd minutes, respectively.

  Cantave chipped in with strikes in the 77th and 85th minutes as St Martin had no response to the onslaught.

  Grenada vs. Saint Lucia

  This was always expected to be a close contest and it lived up to its billing with St Lucia denying their host.

  Christian Forino Joseph broke the deadlock for St Lucia in the 13th when he got on the end of Alvinus Myers’ well-weighted corner kick.

  Donavan Jn Baptiste then capitalised on Grenada’s defensive error to double the lead in the 21st minute.

  Grenada pulled one back in the 51st courtesy of Lucas Akins.

  St Lucia’s goalkeeper Vino Barclett was instrumental in his team’s victory as he pulled off six saves to deny Grenada an equalizer.

  Aruba vs. Puerto Rico

  Leandro Antonetti was the hero for host Puerto Rico in a tightly contested encounter.

  Antonetti found the winner in the 73rd with a firm header to break their opponent’s hearts.

• Kane targeting 100 England goals ahead of landmark appearance

  Ahead of his 100th appearance for England, Harry Kane is next targeting 100 goals for his country.

  The Three Lions captain is set to make his landmark appearance against Finland at Wembley on Tuesday, becoming the 10th player to reach the milestone, and the first since Wayne Rooney in November 2014.

  Kane is England's record goalscorer, netting 66 goals in his 99 appearances so far, and has 17 assists for the national team.

  He scored three times for England at Euro 2024, sharing the Golden Boot with five other players, with his last goal coming from the penalty spot against the Netherlands in the semi-final.

  Kane started their Nations League opener against the Republic of Ireland on Saturday, a match they won 2-0, though the striker failed to hit the net despite having the most shots (four) and touches in the opposition box (nine).

  Kane, who averages a goal every 117 minutes for England, has now set himself the target of 100 goals, shrugging off a suggestion that it is too ambitious.

  "It's possible, it's there," Kane said. "What is it, 34 goals?

  "It is strange, I have touched on it a bit, 100 caps have come round so quick – especially the last few years, playing three major tournaments in such a short space of time. In those years I've done around 15, 16, 17 caps a year, whereas a normal year would be 10.

  "The goals were similar. I felt I was on 30 goals and then, bam, I went to 50 and 60. It is definitely there and definitely possible. I feel like I am in a good place, and these are good targets to try to reach.

  "Some people may see them as unrealistic, but I would rather go for something unrealistic and not quite make it, rather than be comfortable just saying I will be happy with 70 or 80 goals."

  Kane is set to be awarded a golden cap ahead of kick-off on his landmark appearance.
