Jordan, who will face either Algeria or Egypt in the quarter-finals, enjoyed a dream start with Baha Suleiman giving them the lead in the ninth minute.

Jordan, who had opened their campaign with a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia before suffering a 4-0 defeat to Morocco, doubled their advantage through Hamza Aldaradreh in the 24th minute.

Palestine refused to give up and narrowed the deficit just before the break through Tamer Seyam.

The win, however, was sealed late on for Jordan when Mahmoud Almardi scored their third in the 82nd minute with Yazan Alnaimat then scoring twice in five minutes  to seal an emphatic win.

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, knew they had to win at the Al Thumama Stadium to stand a chance of advancing but found Morocco hard to break down.

Despite their best efforts, Herve Renard's side found themselves a goal down with Karim El Berkaoui giving Morocco the lead deep into first half added time.

Morocco continued to dictate terms in the second half and in the end, Berkaoui's goal proved to be the difference.
