The 18th round: Palestine was awarded a far-fetched penalty in the 97th minute!

On June 11, a focus match in the quarterfinals, Palestine faced Oman. In the last moment, Palestine suffered a controversial penalty and finally tied with Oman 1-1, and missed the playoff qualification by 1 point, and was tragically eliminated. Palestine is a very inspiring representative of all teams in the top 18. They don't have "home courts", and the so-called home games are just played at a neutral court. In addition, due to the war, their players can basically only play football in foreign leagues. It is in such a bad environment that Palestine achieved a good record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in the first nine rounds of the game. After the 9 rounds of the game, Palestine ranked fifth in Group B, one point behind Oman, which was 4th. In the 10th round, Palestine will face Oman head-on at home. The match was played in Jordan's Neutral Stadium in the early morning. In the 49th minute, Palestine took the lead. Since then, Oman has attacked wildly but cannot score. In the 73rd minute, Oman team, who was behind in the score, was hit hard again. Player Saadi turned two yellows and one red and was sent off with a red card. In the last 20 minutes, Palestine beat one more person. However, Palestine, which led the score and played one more player, was then a little conservative, and the whole team entered the defensive defense. Time passed by minute by minute, and the game entered injury stoppage time. The game was about to end, but an accident occurred in the last minute: Oman's last attack was made, with a long pass, and wanted to find the players in the penalty area. At this time, the Omani player fell in the penalty area. Slow motion shows that he has slight physical contact with Palestinian players, but has little power. In addition, Omani players basically cannot touch the ball. However, the referee whistle sounded and gave Oman a penalty. Palestine protested, but it was useless. The Omani player took the penalty and successfully hit the ball. In the end, the game ended with a score of 1-1. In the standings, Palestine scored 10 points and Oman scored 11 points. Only 1 point away, Palestine missed the playoffs. Palestine is only a few seconds away from the playoffs. But luck makes people beat people. After the game, all Palestinian players fell on the grass, covering their faces and crying, and they could not accept such a cruel result.
