Guam 0-5 Palestine
Palestine opened their account just two minutes in, Abdelrahman Sharifeh’s cross from the right was turned in from close range by captain Yazan Khalifah after his first attempt was saved by Liam Ralph.

They needed another five minutes to double their lead after Nikko Byerly brought down Ali Hariri, with Mohammed Jamhour sending Ralph the wrong way with a well-taken spot-kick to the right.

The Guam defence regrouped after their jittery start but only held up until the 29th minute, when Yunan Badarne, who had come on a minute earlier, weaved down the centre from the left and fired into the bottom right corner.

Yazan Abuarmaneh added their fourth on the half-hour mark with a dipping 20-yard shot that whizzed past a diving Ralph as Palestine wrapped up the first half with a commanding performance. 
The West Asian side continued to push forward after the break but had to wait until the 67th minute to extend the scoreline when Zein Abouatiq back-heeled Khalifah’s drive from inside the six-yard box.
