The match saw both teams play entertaining football but fail to score in regulation time.
Palestine goalkeeper Rami Hamada gave his side an early advantage by saving Ali Yusuf’s first penalty. With Palestine leading 3-2, Libya goalkeeper Aymen Al Tihar kept his team’s hopes alive by stopping Michel Termanini’s shot.
Ultimately, Amid Mahajna calmly converted Palestine’s final penalty, while Libya’s Marwan Al Hbeishi missed the target, handing Palestine a place in the group stage.
