The Socceroos couldn't put Bangladesh to the sword but coach Graham Arnold insists a scrappy 2-0 World Cup qualifying win, plus Nestory Irankunda's debut, still left him happy in humid Dhaka.
The frustrating game against world No.184 Bangladesh was effectively a dead rubber given Australia have already progressed to the next round of qualifying, while they claimed top spot in Group I with Thursday's win.
Ajdin Hrustic's deflected long-range strike in the 29th minute and Kusini Yengi's header in the 62nd proved the difference in sweltering conditions on a shabby, waterlogged pitch at the Bashundhara Kings Arena.
