The victory sees Palestine, who now have four points to their name, go second in the group behind table-topping Tajikistan on goal difference. Jordan are one point behind the high-flying duo in third. In a game that provided twists and turns galore, Jordan raced into a two-goal lead within the opening 31 minutes courtesy of strikes from Yazan Al Arab and Mohammad Mahmoud Hashem Alrazem. However, Palestine responded with a goal of their own seven minutes before the break when a superb Hazem Abuhammad free-kick found the net to hand his side a vital lifeline. The Palestinian momentum was to continue after the break, Mahmoud Yousef drawing his side level with 66 minutes on the clock at the Dura Stadium thanks to a fine run and shot, and Bahaa Wridat firing home what would prove to be the winner with 14 minutes to play. In the group's final round of games on Sunday, Palestine will face Bangladesh, while Jordan are set to tackle Tajikistan.
