Palestine Defeated by Saudi Arabia in FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 Quarterfinal

Mohamed Kanno's 115th-minute header secured Saudi Arabia's 2-1 extra-time victory, ending Palestine's historic run at FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 quarterfinals.

  • A 115th-minute header from Mohamed Kanno gave Saudi Arabia a 2-1 extra-time win at Lusail Stadium, advancing them to the Arab Cup semifinals on Thursday, December 11, 2025.
  • A 58th-minute penalty followed by a 64th-minute equaliser saw Firas Al-Buraikan put Saudi ahead before Oday Dabbagh levelled to force extra time.
  • VAR intervened to overturn a handball penalty and an earlier Saudi goal was ruled offside, producing late drama as Salem Al-Dawsari floated a right-flank delivery that Mohamed Kanno met on the far post to beat Rami Hamada.
  • Saudi Arabia will meet either Jordan or Iraq in Monday's semifinal, while Morocco already secured its place in the last four, shaping the tournament bracket.
  • Despite elimination, Palestine earned wide praise for their display as their historic FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 run ends, building on earlier this year’s AFC Asian Cup knockout stage achievement.
