Qualifiers - Group F: Jordan hold off Palestine to progress
Amman: Jordan advanced to the AFC U23 Asian Cup Uzbekistan 2022 Finals despite a 1-1 draw with Palestine in Group F of the qualifiers on Sunday.
Sitting in the driver's seat following their 1-0 win over Turkmenistan on Monday, the stalemate was enough for Jordan to top the group on four points.

Palestine, having lost 3-1 to Turkmenistan in their opening match, knew only a win would keep their hopes alive and started strongly.

Jordan, however, were equally resilient and neither side was able to find a way through in the opening 45 minutes.
That, however, quickly changed in the second half as Jordan opened the scoring just three minutes in through forward Yazan Abdallah Al Naimat.

With their hopes fading fast, Palestine tried to find a way back and drew level in the 77th minute through Wajdi Mohammed but it was not enough to take them to Uzbekistan 2022.
