Outstanding performance
Palestine•MidfielderPalestine dismantled China PR with ruthless efficiency, needing just 9 shots on target to score five times while China squandered their territorial dominance in dangerous attacks. Assad Al Hamlawi set the tone with two goals inside the first 22 minutes, both stemming from quick, direct play, before Oday Dabbagh added his own double either side of halftime to put the result beyond doubt. China PR actually out-attacked Palestine in dangerous attacks (39 to 23) and won far more tackles, but their profligacy in front of goal - just 3 shots on target from 12 attempts - told the real story. The result continues a miserable run for China PR, who made five changes at halftime in a desperate attempt to stem the bleeding, while Palestine's comprehensive win will serve as a major confidence boost ahead of tougher assignments.

Kick-off has occurred!
China PR welcome Palestine to the Beijing National Stadium in a friendly billed as a knockout-style test, though with no title or relegation stakes attached. Both sides arrive on the back of cagey, low-scoring recent form, suggesting a tight, tactical affair rather than a goal fest.
