Jordan record comfortable win over Palestine

Hassan Abdelfattah opened the scoring in the 24th minute and three minutes later Ahmed Hayel made it 2-0.

In an action-packed first half, Saeed Murjan found the net in the 35th minute as the hosts went 3-0 up on the break.

Jordan were in total control of the match and Ibrahim Al Zawahreh’s 76th minute goal ensured their superiority ahead of next week tie against Syria.

In between those matches, the country will be featuring for the first time in an Asian playoff for the World Cup where they will meet Uzbekistan twice in early September. They host the Uzbeks on September 6 and four days later travel to Uzbekistan for the return leg of the competition.
