Bangladesh girls failed to defend the
SAFF U-15 Women’s Championship title as they were beaten by India girls 0-1 in
the final match at Changlimithang Stadium in Thimphu, Bhutan Saturday. The lone
goal was scored by Sunita Munda in the 66th minute.
The final match of the 2018 SAFF U-15
Women's Championship was the reverse of the 2017 SAFF U-15 Women's Championship’s
final match in which Bangladesh bet India 1-0. So, with this victory, India, took a sweet revenge over Bangladesh.
Compared to India, Bangladesh played much
better throughout the match but luck did not favor them. The losing side even
got a lot of opportunities to come back to the game but could not make use of any
of them. The girls in red and green went to the final with the favorite's tag
and they showed their dominance for large part of the game. The former
champions took 11 shots on target and got six corners against India. On the
other hand, India had four shots on target and got two corners.
Bangladesh started off the tournament thrashing
Pakistan 14-0. Then they went on to beat Nepal 3-0 and Bhutan 5-0 before moving
to the final. Hopefully, they will do well in the future tournaments.
