China, April 25: Bangladesh U16 National Women’s Team put up a brilliant show beating China's Shaanxi Province U14 3-0.
This was the fourth match of the team on this tour of China as a preparation for AFC finals later this year.
Throughout the match in the Xian Olympic Sports Village Football ground, the visiting U16 team had a possession of 65%, and the first goal came in early as well.
Tohura Khatun had given a brilliant through pass in the 9th minute, which Anuching received but could not finish well. However, Razia managed to take control again as the ball bounced back from a defender, and she made sure the Bengal Girls went on the lead.
The only time Bangladesh seemed to be in trouble was in the 20th minute when two Chinese forwards rushed in on Bangladesh goalkeeper Ruksana, but her quick reflexes helped the visitors keep a clean sheet.
The second goal from the U16 girls came in the 26th minute of the game as centre back Akhi managed to send the ball flying off to forward Anuching with a precise long pass. Anuching, running past the defenders, only had the Chinese goalkeeper to beat and she did it in style with a low ball swooping past the net.
The red and greens had another opportunity to score in the 30th minute, but a wide shot from forward Anuching kept the score line 2-0.
In the 76th minute of the match, Bangladesh’s substitute goalkeeper Rumky cleared the ball off to Ratna, and the central player gave a lofted pass over to Shopna. With her amazing speed on the pitch, Shopna was quick to control the ball around the goalkeeper and scored in an empty net to make the score line 3-0.
The Shaanxi province team was a tough opponent in the game that was played in three 30-minute phases.
On Wednesday, April 26, the visiting girls will face the Chinese U14 team at 2:30pm (BDST).
