The match between Bangladesh and Nepal on Thursday was a perfect example of what an international friendly should be like. Nepal took the lead early in the match at the National Stadium in Dhaka. Bangladesh then came back to the fore and remained in the lead.
In the injury time of the second half, Nepal managed to tie the game again. Meanwhile, the game itself became exciting, both teams will have no complaints about a draw. Nepal will be satisfied with the fact that they are undefeated in the last 7 games against Bangladesh. Hari Khadka made his debut as a coach with this game. Under his leadership, Nepal played a positive game to a large extent and Hari's strategy worked for the draw. Nepal did not sit still even when they were one goal behind, they kept attacking.
As a result, Anant Tamang scored a great goal in the injury time of the second half by 'flicking'. This left the Bangladeshi fans in a state of shock. Otherwise, Bangladesh seemed to be heading towards victory and everyone was busy praising Hamza Chaudhary. This Bangladeshi player, who was playing for Leicester City in England, scored two goals in the second half within 4 minutes.
Bangladesh took the lead from a position behind by one goal. Hamza scored a spectacular goal with the help of an 'overhead bicycle kick' in the 46th minute. This goal showed how good a player he is. He also played for Leicester in the English Premier League. Leicester is currently in the Second Division Championship.
Bangladesh got a penalty kick opportunity immediately after the first goal. Hamza converted it in the 50th minute. Suman Shrestha brought down Rakib Hossain in the penalty area, but Sri Lankan referee Kasun Lakmal's penalty decision was largely weak. Earlier, Nepal had taken the lead in the 29th minute through Rohit Chand's goal. Rohit scored his second international goal for Nepal. He had earlier scored his first goal in an international friendly against Afghanistan in 2024.
Anant scored his fourth goal for Nepal. Captain and goalkeeper Kiran Limbu also made some impressive saves for Nepal. Nepal has won two of its last seven matches against Bangladesh, while the remaining five have ended in draws. The last time Nepal and Bangladesh met in an international friendly at the Dashrath Stadium was three months ago, when the match ended in a goalless draw.
