Tajikistan raced into an early lead through Sheriddin Boboev and looked to have doubled their advantage via Nozim Babadzhanov, but Palestine's Assad Al Hamlawi proved the great leveler, scoring twice to cancel out both Tajik goals and drag his side level by the break. The turning point came right at the stroke of halftime when Al Hamlawi's second goal made it 2-2, completely shifting the psychological edge heading into the interval. Palestine then exploded out of the blocks in the second half, with Hassan Alaa Aldeen scoring within a minute of the restart to put them ahead for the first time, and a red card to Zoir Dzhuraboev on the hour mark left Tajikistan fighting an uphill battle a man down. Oday Dabbagh's 73rd-minute strike sealed the win, capping a match that swung wildly from Tajik promise to a comprehensive Palestinian statement result.
