Palestine goalkeeper Rami Hamadeh has called for an end to the conflict in Gaza after his side departed the Asian Cup with their heads held high following a gutsy round-of-16 loss to hosts Qatar.
Reigning champions Qatar won 2-1 but Palestine gave themselves an opportunity to dream by scoring the opening goal, their first in the Asian Cup's knockout stages.
Star man Oday Dabbagh's wonderful solo goal, when he slalomed between Qatar's defenders before coolly finishing across his body, lit up the Al Bayt Stadium in the 37th minute.
