Palestine dominated the early proceedings but the Bangladeshi defence stood firm, limiting the West Asian side to shots from distance while looking to hit the visitors on the break.

 

One such counter attacking move in the 32nd minute saw Foysal Fahim hauled down at the edge of the box with captain Jamal Bhuyan’s free-kick bending over the wall but going narrowly wide of the post.

Oday Dabbagh, who netted a hat-trick in last week’s reverse game, then forced a good save from Mitul Marma at his near post after he latched onto a through pass and struck a forceful low shot.

 

Palestine’s best chance of the half came six minutes before the break when Musab Battat’s delivery from a free-kick found Shihab Qumbor who nodded it towards goal but Mitul read the situation well to punch the ball away.

The away side continued to knock at the door and within minutes of the second half, the alert Dabbagh intercepted Mitul’s attempted pass, however, having done the hard work in rounding the goalkeeper, sent his shot wide with the goalmouth gaping.

 

Mitul produced a great save in the 58th minute, denying a Dabbagh header from close range to keep Bangladesh in the game.

 

The 20-year-old Sheikh Russel KC player kept on being the stumbling block for Palestine, pulling off an acrobatic save to stop Alaaeddin Hasan’s long range shot then diving quickly down to his right to push away Oday Kharoub’s half volley.

Bangladesh lost the excellent Mitul in the 84th minute to injury while Palestine played the closing minutes of the match with 10 men after Ameed Mahajneh was shown his second yellow in stoppage time.

 

However, Palestine were not to be denied as Termanini snuck in at the back post in the fourth minute of added time to side-foot home the winner.
