Libya’s national team exited the Arab Cup on Tuesday evening following a defeat to their Palestinian counterparts. The elimination came after the initial match, held at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, concluded in a goalless draw, forcing the contest to be decided by a penalty shootout. Palestine ultimately clinched the victory, winning 4-3 from the spot.
The match itself was distinctly balanced, with both teams demonstrating parity in performance throughout the regular time. Neither side managed to find the net, despite trading offensive attempts. With this shootout triumph, the Palestinian team secured its place in the group stage. They now join a demanding group that includes Qatar, Tunisia, and Syria, having previously guaranteed their spot in the competition by defeating South Sudan.
