Bangladesh blow away Lebanon in AFC U-16 Championship
DHAKA, Sept 19, 2018 (BSS)- Bangladesh U-16 women’s football team
continued their impressive performance as they blew away Lebanon by 8-0 goals
in their second Group F match of AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Qualifiers
held at Birshreshtha Shaheed Sepoy Mohammad Mostafa Kamal Stadium in the
city’s Kamalapur on Wednesday.
In the day’s match, Sajeda, Saraban Tahura and Shamsunnahar Jr. scored a
brace apiece while Anai Mogini and substitute Rojina Akhter netted one goal
each after Lebanon failed to create any resistance in the one-sided affair.
The girls in red and green, who earlier recorded an overwhelming 10-0
victory over Bahrain in their opening group match, scored five goals in the
first half before adding three more goals in the second half amid scorching
heat.
With two successive wins, the girls in red and green are on the top of
group with six points, equal with Lebanon but Bangladesh have better goal
difference.
The girls in red and green will play their group third match against UAE
on September 21 and then take on Vietnam on September 23.
