The Nepal Super League (NSL) match will be remembered for a reason. And, this is the reason, Butwal Lumbini emerged under the leadership of Pushpalal Sharma as the head coach. He is a pro-licensed Bhutanese trainer. Until a few years ago, a Bhutanese coach in the Nepali team would have been unthinkable.

But now this has become a reality for Nepali football. How does Sharma himself want to remember this trip? His answer was, 'The first match just happened, so I haven't got much experience. This is a sweet diplomatic answer. His further response was, 'Nepalese don't love Nepali players.' Sharma did not stop there, he also praised Deep as much as possible. He was the deep player of the match who saved 3-4 strong shots in the first half. 

Again, there's more than one reason for this to be forgotten if you're going back to the game. First, there was no goal, not even a very good chance for a goal. There was no excitement in the game, no pace. The foreign players of both teams remained pale. Instead the game itself became more physical, with more pushing and shoving. Only a few of the most notable modes were made. The only thing left to miss was Butwal Lumbini's captain Eric Wist's red card.

is one of the biggest features of the tournament this time, the goal difference will be looked at first when ranking in the points table, then only the results of playing against each other will come. So goals will be as important as wins. Moreover, since a team only plays 6 games in the league stage, one goal at the end of the league stage will be equally important.

So this goalless draw and a point gained from it will be a loss for both Butwal Lumbini and Jhapa, perhaps more so for Jhapa. Butwal Lumbini gave Eric 

The last 20 minutes were played with ten players after being lost due to double yellow cards, but Jhapa failed to take advantage of this and instead kept the pressure on. Pravesh Katuwal, the chief coach of Jhapa, accepted this fact.

He said, 'When the opposition team had 10 players, we played nervously. In the second half, our performance was even weaker. He added, 'We are not happy with one score. The goalkeeper of Butwal Lumbini also played well today.'
