SA Games: Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka 2-1 in Women’s Football

Bangladesh tasted the first victory in their second match of the 12th South Asian Games Women’s Football beating Sri Lanka by 2-1 goals today.

The match was held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Sports Complex in Shillong this afternoon.

After a barren first half, Krishna Rani Sarkar struck both the goals for Bangladesh in the 62nd and 85th minutes respectively while Sri Lanka scored the lone goal in the 66th minute.

Bangladesh Women’s team made a frustrating start in the five-nation competition after conceding 0-3 goals against Nepal in the inaugural match Friday morning.

In the other match at the same venue, Nepal Women’s team maintained their winning spree beating the Maldives by a solitary goal.
