Friendly: Catalonia defeats Palestine

The Catalonia national team claimed a 2–1 victory in a friendly match against Palestine. With this win, they remain unbeaten since 2008.

Catalonia struck early to open the scoring. Ilia Sánchez found the net after a cross from Sergio Gómez. The lead doubled to 2-0 when Amid Mahajna put the ball into his own goal. Palestine quickly responded and closed the gap through a goal by Moustafa Zeidan, but no further goals were scored.

This match mainly served to draw attention to the difficult situation faced by Palestine, which continues to play friendlies against teams not affiliated with FIFA, such as the Basque Country and Catalonia. Meanwhile, Catalonia has now gone 17 years without defeat, racking up 7 wins and 5 draws since their last loss to an Argentina U20 side in 2008.
