Women’s chance to beat Nepal

After conceding a late goal to be held to a 1-1 draw in the first match, Bangladesh women's football team will have the opportunity to rectify mistakes and win the two-match series against Nepal in the second and final match at the Birshershtha Shaheed Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Kamalapur today, the action kicking off at 5:30pm.

Bangladesh were close to inflicting a second defeat on Nepal in their first match since the historic SAFF Women's Championship final win on Thursday, only for Sabitra Bhandari's stoppage time goal canceling out Sabina Khatun's opener.

But the women in red and green have regrouped and prepared to prove taste victory under new head coach Mahbubur Rahman Litu following the resignation of Golam Rabbani Choton.

"We are hoping that the mistakes won't be repeated in the next match. We are working on keeping the defence compact till the end. Everyone will give their best," Litu told media on Saturday.

"There will not be any major changes in gameplan from us. We will try to beat them with the same plan and will have to conserve the lead if we can take it," the coach said, adding that there are no major fitness issues in the team.
