Bangladesh U-17 bounce back with 4-0 win over Bhutan in Asian Cup qualifiers

Bangladesh beat Bhutan 4-0 in their second match of the AFC U-17 Asian Cup qualifiers. The young red-and-green side recorded the big win in Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates.

The start of the qualifiers had not gone well for Bangladesh, who lost their first match against Syria. In the second match, however, they attacked from the start against Bhutan and bounced back.

Bangladesh took the lead in the sixth minute, when Hedayet Ullah sent the ball into the Bhutan net.

Mohin Ahmed doubled the lead in the 15th minute, and Bayezid Bostami scored the third in the 28th minute. Alif Rahman's team went into the break leading 3-0.

After the break, substitute Yasin Arafat added the fourth goal in the 67th minute. Coach Ludvik de Kruijf's pupils held on to that lead to secure the victory.

After the defeat to Syria, this big win has restored the confidence of Bangladesh's U-17 team in the qualifiers.
