Qatar is looking for compensation for an ecstatic Syria… and Palestine is seeking unexpected qualification through Tunisia

Qatar, the host of the Arab Football Cup, is looking to compensate for its sudden loss to Palestine, when it meets Syria, which is ecstatic from its victory over Tunisia, today, in the second round of the first group.

The landowners hope to correct the pale face they presented at the beginning of the journey, with a sudden defeat to Palestine with a goal at the fatal time, to avoid entering into complex calculations that might eliminate them early.

Al-Anabi will miss the services of its player, Assem Madibo, according to what its Spanish coach, Julen Lopetegui, announced yesterday in a press conference: “Unfortunately, Assem will not be with us in the remaining matches after suffering an injury against Palestine.”

On the other hand, the “Qasioun Eagles” enter the match in high spirits, after a very valuable victory over the “Carthage Eagles” with the same result, opening the door to the first surprise in the tournament.

Syria enters the match with full ranks, and the Syrian team displays the most prominent weapon, represented by the Emirati Al-Wahda player, Omar Khribin, who was the godfather of the first victory over Tunisia with a wonderful goal from a free kick.

In the second match, against wounded Tunisia, Palestine is counting on its wonderful start after defeating host Qatar by an own goal in the last minute.

At Lusail Stadium, which hosted the 2022 World Cup final, “Al-Fedayi”, led by its coach Ihab Abu Jazar, is preparing to achieve an unprecedented journey in a confrontation in which victory may put it in the quarter-finals for the first time after five participations during which it was eliminated in the first round.

On the other hand, with mixed feelings, coach Sami Trabelsi is relying on the awakening of his players after the shock of the loss to Syria, based on reading his opponent through the eyes of the last match, as the former Qatari coach of Al Sailiya said that “the Palestine national team resembles Syria, as it is characterized by mentality, spirit and combat.”
