Ahmad International Stadium: Harry Souttar's lone goal helped Australia overcome Palestine 1-0 in their 2026 World Cup qualifying match here at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium.

Harry ducked and headed the ball past the outstretched hands of Palestine goalkeeper Rami Hamadi in the 18th minute off a Craig Goodwin corner, helping Australia to go over the line in front of 60,000 fans holding their nerve on the edge on Tuesday.

Palestine were without their star defender Ibrahim Abuimeir, Ahmed Kullab, and Khaled Al-Nabris, with all three stuck in Gaza.
