Aziz Behich charges into the box and is little threat until tumbling to ground in a dramatic fashion, and a penalty is awarded. That looked tough on the visitors, but there is no VAR to intervene.
2 mins: Palestine make a bright start, knocking the ball around the top of the box and winning it back quickly whenever Australia get a foot on it. A Palestine cross is cleared but the danger remains for Australia until a cheap free kick is given to the home side.
