After the first match win, Bangladesh national football team is looking forward to wrap up the series as they face host Bhutan in the final match of two-match FIFA Int’l Friendly Football scheduled to be held tomorrow on Saturday (7 September) at the Changlimithang Stadium in Thimphu, Bhutan.
The match kicks off at 6pm.
Bangladesh finally returned to the winning streak in international football with a solitary goal victory against host Bhutan in the first match, courtesy of the lone goal by promising forward Sheikh Morsalin.
Despite playing high altitude in the first match at Changlimithang Stadium, the boys in red and green were prowess taking sixth minute lead and they maintained it till last whistle.
Bangladesh national football team’s head coach Javier Cabrera must be expecting the same performance from his boys in the second match against Bhutan.
Speaking through a video message, captain Jamal Bhuyan sought everyone’s prayers for the team to earn three more points.
He said fifty percent task has already been completed by winning the first match and we want to complete the remaining fifty percent by winning the second match.
Assistant coach Hasan Al Mamun informed that forward Rakib would miss the second match due to injury problem.
He said Rakib's injury is not too serious and he hoped that Rakib would be back to field soon.
