Women's Asian Qualifiers: Bangladesh beat East Timor 8-0
Bangladesh U-20 women’s football team cruised to a big 8-0 win over East Timor in their second match of the AFC U-20 Women’s Asian Cup qualifiers in Vientiane on Friday.
Striker Trishna Rani netted a hat-trick.
Sinha Jahan Shikha, Shanti Mardi, Nabiran Khatun, Munki Akter, and Mosammat Sagarika were also on the scoresheet as Bangladesh maintained their winning run in Group H.
Bangladesh took 20 minutes to find their rhythm before Shikha opened the scoring with a precise header from Swapna Rani’s corner.
Shanti doubled the lead in the 33rd minute with a curling corner that went straight in — an Olympic goal — and just three minutes later, Nabiran made it 3-0 with another header from Shanti’s delivery.
Trishna added the fourth in first-half stoppage time from Sagarika’s pass.
The second half saw relentless Bangladeshi pressure. Trishna grabbed her second in the 57th minute after a rebound fell kindly to her inside the box. Sagarika extended the lead to 6-0 in the 73rd minute, dispossessing a defender and rounding the goalkeeper.
Trishna completed her hat-trick in the 82nd minute before Munki wrapped up the scoring in the dying moments.
With two wins from two matches, Bangladesh sit atop Group H with six points. They will face South Korea — who beat East Timor 9-0 — in their final group match on Sunday, reports UNB.
