Doha, Qatar: Syria made a strong start to their FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 campaign, securing a 1-0 win over Tunisia at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium yesterday.
Omar Khribin scored the solitary goal of the match with a superb free kick in the 48th minute, handing his team three crucial points in a tough group that also includes hosts Qatar and Palestine.
Tunisia controlled most of the first half, but Ferjani Sassi, Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane and Yassine Meriah all failed to penetrate the disciplined Syrian defence wall despite creating several chances. Goalkeeper Shaher Al Shaker did well guarding the net and dealt with every threat as Tunisia were left without any goals while Syria relied on quick counter-attacks.
The Al Wahda striker Khribin led most of the counter-attacks and made the Tunisian backline work more.
Syria looked revved up as the second half kicked off.
