Palestinian national team coach Markram Daboub (51) has once again held South Korea back.
The Palestinians held a 1-1 draw against South Korea at 11 p.m. on the 19th (Korea time) at Amman International Stadium in Amman, Jordan, in Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup between North Korea and China.토토사이트
This match was originally supposed to be held at the Palestinian home, but it was held at a neutral site in the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas war.
The Palestinians did their best despite the fact that they could not rely on their home ground spectators' support. Zeid Kunbar (Al-Ahli SC Benghazi) scored the first goal at the 12th minute in the first half and made a fierce counterattack to send shockwaves throughout Korea. If Korea had continued to score goals, Korea might have become a victim of an unexpected incident.
Although they had to be satisfied with securing one point, they narrowed the gap to three points with the third- to fourth-place finishers who are given tickets to the playoffs.
The current rankings are Korea (4 wins, 2 draws, 14 points), Iraq (3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, 11 points), Jordan (2 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss, 9 points), Oman (2 wins, 4 losses, 6 points), Kuwait (4 draws, 2 losses, 4 points), Kuwait (4 draws, 4 points), and Palestine (3 draws, 3 points).
"I want to say thank you to the Palestinian fans. It was a very difficult match. I scored the first goal, but it was regrettable that I lost concentration. I could have done better in the second half, but the game took a rough turn," Dabub said in a press conference after the match.
"If we played at home, we would have been able to bring good results," he said. "The motivation given by the fans is tremendous. It's hard every game, but we're trying to create opportunities no matter who we meet, including Jordan, Oman and Kuwait."
