Bangladesh is ahead by a big margin in the SAFF women's championship against Bhutan in the first half. Sabina Khatun and Tahura scored a pair of goals to give Bangladesh a 5-1 lead at the break.
The red-green team took to the field at the Dasaratha Stadium in Kathmandu on Sunday with one change. Sagarika is playing in place of Shamsunnahar Jr. From the beginning, it gave the gift of football. Predominance was also exclusive.
Rituparna Chakma put Bangladesh ahead with a wonderful goal in the seventh minute. Tahura took the ball behind the markers with a great body dodge to attack and pass Ritu on the left. Taking control of the ball, Ritu beat the Bhutanese goalkeeper with a powerful left-footed shot from just outside the box. Another attack took place at 12 minutes. Sagarika headed Ritu's cross from the left, but Darji Edan saved it from the goal line.
After three minutes, however, there was no mistake. Tahura Khatun opened the score sheet. India's hero doubled the lead with a curling left-footed shot from just outside the box after Shiuli Azim's cross was brought down to the ground.
In the 18th minute, Bangladesh's defense was a bit shaky. Bhutan's Deki Lazam gets a through from his teammate. Sensing the danger, Rupana came out and made it difficult for her to take the shot. Still the Bhutan forward took the shot. In the end it was passed out with a blank post.
Bangladesh's defense has repeatedly loosened in the high press football game. In the 23rd minute, Namgil Dema took a strong shot but Rupana blocked it. In the 25th minute, Sabina took a pass from Tahura and entered the box from the left side and took a shot at the far post. But if it hits below the sidebar, they have to be disappointed. However, the Bangladesh captain did not have to be disappointed in the next minute. Sabina's placing from Monika Chakma's cutback made the scoreline 3-0.
In the 35th minute, Tahura scored a spectacular goal after receiving Maria Manda's cross, beating a defender and firing a left-footed shot past the Bhutanese keeper from outside the box. Sabinao scored his second goal two minutes later with a solo effort. The country's all-time best goal scorer quickly attacked Aguan, dodging two defenders in the midfield, beating the keeper and coolly depositing the ball on the post.
In the 41st minute, Bhutan paid back a goal by taking advantage of bad defending. Shering Haden crossed the goal after avoiding the two defenders of Bangladesh. Deki Lazmer could not stop Rupana from placing.
