Iraq, who secured a 5-0 win over Chinese Taipei on Matchday One, dominated the game with Ameer Hasan opening their account in the 16th minute.

Palestine went further behind in the second half after Ali Alridha Al-Lami found the back of the net in the 64th minute, before Karrar Al-Saeedi put Iraq 3-0 up in the 90th minute

Hassan doubled his tally in stoppage time to seal the win.

Chinese Taipei came into the tie aiming to break their winless streak and their first half initiative seemed to have kept Uzbekistan’s attack in shackles.

However, the Central Asian side took the lead through Abubakir Shukurullaev’s 61st minute effort to seal the victory and set up a mouthwatering final group fixture against Iraq on Sunday.
