In the 36th minute of the match, Srijana Baduwal scored to give Nepal the lead. Nepal, which had many opportunities in the first half, could not convert them into goals.

Prajita Rai, who entered the field in place of Sangita Malla in the 27th minute of the match, doubled the lead by adding a goal in the 69th minute. Bhutan's Sonam Choden scored a goal in response in the 87th minute. Srijana Baduwal received the Player of the Match trophy in the match.

Bangladesh is close to the finals by being at the top of the league. Bhutan's chances of reaching the finals after losing two matches are over. Nepal, which lost 1-0 to India, is ahead of India in the points table based on goal difference.

India had lost 2-0 to Bangladesh on Monday itself. Now Nepal will play Bangladesh on Wednesday. India and Bhutan will compete. The top two teams in the points table will play the finals.
