Palestine scored the opening goal of the match after a good header of Palestine striker Oday Dabbagh from a close range at the 29th minute.

However, just moments before the first half closed, the Vietnamese team equalised the score. In the second half, the home side continued their good performance, and their efforts were paid off with the second goal coming at the 52nd minute of the match.

But as the clock ticked the Vietnamese men’s defence stood firm, and despite Palestine’s best efforts the score remained 2-1.
