The outcome of the first day of the Four Nations Cup football match was somewhat expected. Unexpected was the score, that too especially in Nepal. Nepal's performance at the Dasharath Stadium on Monday was seen to be largely confused.
Nepal did not have to fear the Kyrgyz attack at any stage during the entire game. However, Nepal's own attack could not remain dynamic. Nepal continued to push the force forward, but it remained aimless.
Therefore, the only achievement of Nepal's victory over Kyrgyzstan was 3 points. Chief coach Rajendra Tamang was not happy with his team's performance. He didn't even say he was sad. The word he used was exactly that, confused performance. "It seemed like our performance was sloppy, Rekha Paudel and Savitra Bhandari did not get enough time to coordinate with the team. That's why there might be a problem," said Tamang.
He believed that perhaps his players did not understand the football philosophy of the coach. That's why he said, "The player did not understand the philosophy of the coach." Maybe I could not explain it as a coach? But I think the players should understand this much. Preeti Rai agreed with his statement. 'Player of the match' Preeti said, the player could not play as the coach said. "There is no harmony between us," he said.
Kyrgyzstan was the same team, which lost 8-2 to Nepal in the 2019 Nadezhda Cup. However, now Nepal had to struggle to defeat the same team. The head coach of Kyrgyzstan, Nematzhan Zakirov, using diplomatic language, praised the Nepali team at the beginning. He said, 'Nepali players are good. This is a very strong team.' But he remembered the old defeat and claimed that Kyrgyz football has improved a lot since then.
was the decisive goal in Nepal's victory, in the name of Vimala Chaudhary. She headed the goal in the 11th minute. Savita Ranamar provided the cross. This is Vimala's second individual goal for Nepal. She previously scored against the Philippines in 2021. Although Nepal allowed Savitra to enter the field in the second half, she failed to score.
Now Nepal will face Lebanon in the second match. Myanmar and Kyrgyzstan will meet in the next match. In the four-team tournament, Myanmar and Nepal finished in the top two positions with 3 points each. Kyrgyzstan and Myanmar remained scoreless. In the first match, Myanmar was also able to continuously attack Lebanon, but failed to score accordingly. All four goals came in the second half. Win Thengithun scored the first goal in the 56th minute. It's been great. His shot from just outside the penalty area turned into a goal.
Lebanon equalized in the 60th minute. Laiza Skander scored for the team. Layla beat Marmar goalkeeper Myo Myamya and hit the ball into the empty post. Then Myanmar added two goals. Among them, Swee Yi Tun scored a goal in the 72nd minute with a header. Matt Noe Khina added the third goal on a rebound in the 75th minute.
