Australia looking for revenge in play-off

Can Australia avenge their heartbreaking loss to Uruguay four years ago and qualify for next year’s World Cup? They beat Uruguay 1-0 in the opening leg in Melbourne four years ago and then they lose the second leg 3-0 in South America.

The two teams were once again drawn together to decide one of the last available places at the World Cup 2006. The first leg of their playoff will be held at Montevideo on November 12 with the return match in Sydney four days later.

Hiddink said his players would be better prepared this time around but still could not afford to underestimate Uruguay.
