The match, held yesterday, marked Bangladesh’s fourth straight victory in the tournament. With this win, the team has now collected 12 points and taken back the top spot. Nepal, who also performed well in the championship, stands in second place with 9 points from the same number of matches.

In another development, the Bangladesh national football team is set to visit Nepal for two FIFA international friendly matches in September.
