It was Bangladesh’s second win in their last nine international matches, following a 1–0 win against Cambodia under Spanish coach Javier Fernandez Cabrera.
Also, the dream of Nigeria-born Aletta Kingsley, who acquired Bangladeshi citizenship, came true today. He entered the field in the second half wearing the Bangladesh national jersey for the first time.
Ekta, who has scored seven goals in the Premier League for Dhaka Abahani, twice came close to scoring.
