What The Azkals Draw With Palestine Actually Means.

Win or go home.

That is the predicament that the Azkals find themselves in, after the 0-0 draw with Palestine's Al Fusan. It was a hard fought battle the entire match, with Palestine dominating the first half and the Azkals returning the favor in the second half.

The Palestinians feasted on the right side of the defense, where speedy Ismael Alamour absolutely owned Rob Gier. Etheridge once again showed world class skill and talent in keeping the Palestinians goalless while the Azkals had few opportunities to test the Palestinian goalie.

The draw puts the Al Fusan in first place of the group with 4 points. The shocking victory of Bangladesh over Myanmar puts them at 2nd place with 3 points. The Azkals are at 3rd with 2 points while Myanmar, surprisingly, is last with 1 point.

Only the top 2 teams will move on to the next stage and for the Azkals to be one of those 2 teams, they need to win tomorrow.
