Doha: Palestine produced a brilliant fightback to secure a 2-2 draw against Tunisia in their FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 Group A clash yesterday.
Amor Layouni put Tunisia ahead in the 16th minute, then Firas Chaouat added their second early in the second half before Hamed Hemdan pulled one back for Palestine and Zaid Qunbar struck an 85th minute equaliser in a thrilling encounter at the Lusail Stadium.
The victory lifted Palestine’s tally to four points from two matches. They are now well placed to reach the quarter-finals and will aim to finish the job against Syria on Sunday.
Tunisia looked stronger than their counterparts earlier on.
Palestine goalkeeper Rami Hamada did well to stop a close-range header from Firas Chouat off a corner in the 10th minute. Six minutes later, he was finally beaten.
