By winning 3-0 against Hong-Kong, the Palestinian selection assured its place in the round of 16 of the Asian Cup. A historical and highly symbolic first.
Palestine beat Hong Kong 3-0 on Tuesday, January 23 in Doha in the group’s Asian Cup group match. A success that allows him for the first time in his story to access the knockout stages of the competition.
Palestinian goals were signed by Oday Dabbagh (12th, 60th) and Zaid al-Qanbar (48th).
Under the leadership of Tunisian coach Makram Daboub, the selection ends third in his group with four points, behind Iran and the Emirates.
But it is guaranteed to be one of the best thirds, in front of China (2 points) and the third in group D (either Japan, or Indonesia).
While war rages in their country, the “Canaan lions” have given themselves the means to succeed in their mission and masterfully sign a historical feat.
