Bangladesh made an impressive start with crossing a stiff hurdle in the AFC Under-16 Women’s Championship qualifying round defeating Iran by 3-0 yesterday at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
In the day’s other matches, China Taipei made an easy win with 7-1 victory over Kyrgyzstan and UAE shared points with Singapore with a 2-2 draw.
Bangladesh women could have the lead in the very second minute of kick off but Sirat Jahan Shopna’s attempt hit the side net to go in vain.
The host girls began the second half in style with attacking approach and squeezed their opponents’ defence but took time to break the deadlock.
Marzia opened the scoring on 63rd minute when she converted a rebounder of Maria’s effort (1-0) and Moushomi doubled the advantage two minutes later with a spectacular powerful angular effort on a Sanjida cross (2-0).
Substitute Tohura slammed home a superb header over the Iranian goalkeeper when another substitute player Monika provided the cross inside the area on 86th (3-0).
