Bangladesh was unable to maintain their winning streak against Bhutan, suffering a 1-0 defeat in their second friendly match. The only goal of the game was scored by Kinga Wangchuk during extra time, which ensured the victory for the hosts. With this win, Bhutan has leveled the series 1-1.
The match took place at Changlimithang Stadium in Bhutan, where Bangladesh entered with the confidence of their previous victory. However, the team faced challenges not only from Bhutan’s performance but also from the high altitude of the stadium, which affected their play. Despite these difficulties, Bangladesh, led by coach Xavier Cabroras, made efforts to attack but squandered several opportunities due to their own mistakes in the first half, leaving the score tied at 0-0 at the break.
In the second half, despite multiple attempts to take the lead, neither team managed to score. As the match neared its end, Bangladesh made attempts to break Bhutan’s defense but was unsuccessful. Instead, a goal by Kinga Wangchuk during injury time sealed the win for Bhutan, handing Bangladesh their defeat.
