After failing to qualify from the group stages despite two tiebreaker wins over Bulgaria and Portugal, Bangladesh faced the Italian boys at the Stade de Gerland where they dominated proceedings from the onset.

After losing to Reunion Island on tie-breaker and Morocco 1-0, Bangladesh defeated Portugal, who qualified to the next stage with Reunion Island, 4-3 and then went on to beat Bulgaria, the other European nation in group B, in which Bangladesh were fourth having collected three points. A drawn game, even though decided later on penalties, yields a single point.

According to BFF Online, Bangladesh were pitted against South Pacific island Vanuatu in their next classification match last night.

After being eliminated from the latter stages of the tournament, the team will return to Dhaka on July 3.
