Pakistan made history on Tuesday by defeating Cambodia 1-0 to win their first-ever FIFA World Cup qualifier. The match was played at the Jinnah Sports Stadium in Islamabad, and the victory was met with wild celebrations from the players and fans alike.
The only goal of the game came in the 68th minute from Harun Hamid, who scored a half-volley from just outside the box. The goal was a fitting reward for Pakistan's dominant performance, as they had created several chances to score throughout the match.
Cambodia had a few chances of their own, but they were unable to find the back of the net. Pakistan's goalkeeper, Yousaf Butt, was in fine form and made a number of important saves to keep his team's clean sheet intact.
The victory is a huge achievement for Pakistan, who have never qualified for the World Cup before. It is also a testament to the hard work and dedication of the players and coaching staff.
