Sports Desk;Dhaka: Bangladesh’s slim hopes of reaching the AFC U-20 Women’s Asian Cup quarterfinals were dashed after a 1-0 defeat to Vietnam in their final group stage match.
Despite a resilient defensive performance in the first half at Nonthaburi, Thailand, a critical goalkeeping error in the second half cost the team the match.
The decisive moment came in the 49th minute when a mistake by goalkeeper Mili allowed Vietnam’s Thi Thu Linh Nguyen to score the only goal of the game.
