Syria and Palestine drew 0-0 Sunday in Sharjah in the first round of Group B of the 2019 Asian Cup in UAE football until early February.
The Palestinian team ended the match with ten men after the expulsion of defender Mohammed Saleh for a second warning.
Both teams took their points to a point of second place behind Jordan, who won a surprise 1-0 win over defending champion Australia on Sunday.
This is the first official tournament in Syria since the bloody conflict that erupted eight years ago, although it is still forbidden to organize home games.
Syria had reached an advanced stage of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and had fought against Australia during the Asian series.
Palestine will play for the second time in the final after 2015, after losing all three games in the first round.
