In what was a tight game, Jordan regained the lead in the 66th minute through a goal from Leen Al Btoush, and held on to win 2-1.

In the previous match of the day, Syria and Palestine tied 1-1. Palestine took the lead through Aya Abed a minute into the second half, with Syria equalizing through Aysha Hamo six minutes later. This draw was enough to leave Jordan three points clear at the top of the standings.
