Oday Dabbagh made it 3-0 in first-half stoppage time, sweeping home a left-footed finish after Omid Mahajneh's pass. He struck again in the 55th minute to extend the lead to 4-0, and substitute Ahmad Al-Qaq put the finishing touch on the win in the closing seconds.
The result followed a 2-2 draw with New Zealand and a 4-2 win over Tajikistan. Across the three games, Palestine scored 11 goals and conceded four as it continues preparations for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
