NEW DELHI: In a historic moment, Pakistan's national soccer team secured their first-ever World Cup qualifying game victory on Tuesday by defeating Cambodia with a score of 1-0 in Islamabad, allowing them to advance to the second round of qualifiers.
The initial leg of the match in Phnom Penh had ended in a goalless draw. However, the game in Islamabad saw Harun Hamid's half-volley becoming the decisive factor in Pakistan's favor, securing the much-awaited victory at the Jinnah Sports Stadium. This marked the first time Pakistan hosted a home game since 2015.
