Palestine Preview: Belief can be taken from performance in Seoul

One of Palestine’s only two points gathered so far in Group B came against Korea Republic. The opening round of fixtures saw Palestine shock their opponents with a heroic defensive performance, holding Korea Republic to a 0-0 draw away from home. They’ll need to come up with a showing just as special to get anything out of this one.
