Doha: The matches played on Saturday in the 8th WAFF Championship failed to produce goals as Palestine hold Saudi Arabia and Bahrain shared a point against Iraq after all the sides failed to score.
Hosts Qatar, who had edged Palestine 1-0 in their opening match, are current leaders with maximum three points from a match and they will face Saudi Arabia on the last day of 2013.
Likewise, Bahrain played their second goalless draw in as many matches as they ended their group campaign with a slim hope of making it into the semi-finals. They currently lead Group B with two points but with Iraq and Oman facing each other on 31 December, they could be dethroned from the top spot.
The top three sides from three groups will be joined by the best runner-up in the semi-finals to be played in early January.
