Reigning champion Australia scored two goals in two minutes to beat the Palestinians 3-0 and quickly recover from its first loss to the Asian Cup on Friday.
Jimmy McClaren scored the first goal with a header in the 18th minute and Auer Mabel added another goal with a close-range shot two minutes later.
At the last minute of the original substitute, Abastolos Giano scored the third goal with a header.
"It's been a long time, but I'm on the right track," said McLaren, who has not scored a goal in the first nine international matches.
"I have to score goals and that will come in one way or another." Some people said that I could not have my head, but I did it.
Australia suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat to Jordan early in the title defense, but it improved today with three points.
Australia has three points in second place, two points behind Syria and Palestine, while Jordan has six points and became the first to qualify for the round of 16.
In the third round, the Palestinians will play with their rivals and neighbors, while Australia will meet Bashar al-Assad on Tuesday.
The team of Bashar al-Assad must win to ensure his qualification in second position without going into complicated calculations related to solutions in third place.
Australia is the last team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
