Palestine shocks Qatar with a decisive goal in their Arab Cup opener
Tuesday 02-12-2025
The Palestinian national team achieved an exciting victory over the Qatari team, the hosts, by securing a valuable 1-0 win in the match held at Al Bayt Stadium during the first round of Group A in the Arab Cup.

The Palestinian team disrupted the home side's plans when the only goal came from Sultan Al-Buraik’s own goal in the 95th minute, allowing the "Fedayeen" to snatch three valuable points in the final moments.

Despite Qatar's national team having a possession rate of 63%, they failed to convert their dominance into meaningful chances or goals, managing only attempts that never reached a level of real threat to Palestine's goal.

The Palestinian victory came just hours after the Syrian national team defeated Tunisia 1-0, igniting the atmosphere in Group A early on as the first round came to a close.

The Palestinian national team is preparing to face Tunisia in the upcoming round on Thursday, in a challenging match where they hope to improve their chances of advancing to the next stage.

On the other hand, the Qatari national team enters Thursday's round under great pressure, as they face the Syrian team in a match where there is no option but to achieve a positive result to revive their hopes of competing.

The first group includes the national teams of Qatar, Syria, Tunisia, and Palestine, making it one of the strongest groups in the tournament.
