Palestine’s hearts broken in stoppage time! ｜ Palestine - Oman ｜ Highlights #AsianQualifiers - RT 26

A blockbuster encounter in prospect on the last matchday in Group B of the AFC Asian Qualifiers as Palestine face Oman. Palestine need a win to secure a place in the playoffs. Oman are in the box seat as they're ahead of Palestine by one point coming into the final round, so a draw would be good enough for them. Palestine have won their last two, including the crucial 2-0 win over Kuwait last week. Tamer Sayan and Wassam Abu Ali scored the goals to keep their hopes alive. Oman were defeated 3-0 by Jordan last time out to dash their hopes of automatic qualification. And it's Palestine who make the better start. There's an early corner for them. The cross will come back in here. And it's Termanini and it comes crashing back off the bar there. Nearly the dream start for Palestine. Sayan got the cross in and Termanini so unlucky. Oman won the reverse fixture by one goal to nil as they come forward for the first time here in the 28th minute. Rabia al-Alawi with the effort as he strode down the left-hand side. But he's shot eventually over. First sign of real danger there from Oman. Goalless at half-time, Oman under pressure but holding on to a play of place. Early in the second half, Palestine on the front foot. Another early corner in the half. He'll be tired to take it here. He whips it towards the near post and it ends up in the back of the net. It's Karoub with the header for 1-0. That's a massive goal as Palestine leapfrog Oman into the play of places as it stands. Coming towards the hour mark and Oman looking to react to falling behind as they attack down the left-hand side. Rabia al-Alawi is picked out and he goes for the low strike just wide there. But Oman really pushing for the equaliser. 18 minutes remaining now as Palestine play it out from the back. Looking to go on the counter-attack as Harib al-Zahdi there slides in late on Hamdan. And that's his second yellow. He's shown red. The veteran really should know better. Palestine are a man up with under 20 minutes to go. However, it's Oman who go on the attack here. The cross comes in just under 15 minutes to go and Al-Zahdi just sends the header wide at the far post. 10 minutes remaining as Palestine come forward. Weston Abu Ali here with some strong play on the left-hand side. Can he get a shot away? He does and it's a vital stop there by al-Rashidi. Almost 2-0 and the clincher there for Palestine. Denied by the keeper. Now deep into stoppage time. Oman are throwing everything at Palestine. The ball is thrown forward and al-Zahdi goes down and it's a foul. It's a penalty. Late, late drama. As the penalty is awarded with seconds to go. VAR having a quick look at it. But it is really in no doubt. Issam al-Zahdi then steps up and slots it home for the equaliser. Oman snatch the playoff place away from Palestine with that late, late penalty. 97th minute from the coolest player on the park, al-Zahdi. It was a gutsy performance from Palestine but Oman kept calm. They were down to 10 men. They still managed to draw level late on and they take 4th place. What a finish to qualification.
