This defeat was like this, which will make Nepali football cry. It was such a result, which will shake Nepali football badly. Nepal and Bhutan clashed at Dasharath Stadium on Friday. It was a Women's U-16 friendly international match.
This is the first friendly international match played by Nepal in women's age group. So it was historical in a sense. However, this clearly shows where Nepali football is really going.
Bhutan didn't just beat Nepal to beat it, they beat it badly. The score was 5-1 in favor of Bhutan. A few years ago, if anyone would have discussed such a score, it would have been nothing more than a joke. But now Nepal has suffered its first defeat against Bhutan within 90 minutes in women's age group football.
Nepali players themselves were shocked by this result. As soon as the game ended, almost all the players started crying on the field. It was difficult for coach Sulabjung Rana to handle the players.
He had to be told, 'If you want to cry, don't even play football from now on.' Later, while appearing before the media, he first apologized to the Nepali football supporters. He admitted that Bhutanese women's football has become very good.
Why did such a result occur? The answer is obvious. The Bhutanese team had been practicing continuously since two months ago for this one match. The Bhutanese players were all from the academy. The preparation of the Nepalese team was not even 10 days.
'We didn't get to prepare, what is going to happen in 10 days?', Coach Rana said, 'In the beginning, the attention of the coach is only on fitness. There was not enough time for this. That's why the players keep getting injured. This is probably why the Nepali team's performance was very poor, the players looked very low technically. Nepal was behind by three goals in the first half. It also shows how much the Bhutanese team dominated the game.
Bhutan took the lead in the 25th minute with Kunden Sonam's goal. Soon after, Tshiring Lhamo added the second goal in the 36th minute. It was Tshiring who scored the third goal in the 40th minute to give Bhutan a 3-0 lead. Kunden scored the fourth goal in the 66th minute of the match. Yugen Somo scored the fifth goal in the 84th minute. However, this was made possible by a penalty. The goal scored by Sabina Tamang four minutes before the end of the match was only a consolation for Nepal. After the
game, Bhutanese coach Sarab Gyalmo was naturally happy. She said, “This is my first experience as a coach and Bhutan won impressively. So we are all happy. We have been preparing regularly for this one match for two months.
At the same time, she also claimed that Bhutanese women's football is heading in the right direction. Bhutan women's football will be better in the coming days. Now on Sunday Nepal's U-19 women's team will play against Bhutan's U-19 team.
