Bangladesh U-16 girls settle for goalless draw

The Bangladesh girls earlier lost to the same opponent 1-0 in their first friendly on Saturday. The defence line, guarded by goalkeeper Mahmuda, put up a solid display to keep their first clean-sheet in three attempts. In-form striker Shopna, who scored one in their 4-1 win against Shaanxi U-15 team on Sunday, had two decent chances in the game; one was blocked by the opposition defender while the other was saved easily by the custodian. Bangladesh attempted 10 shots on and off target against the home side’s 12. Both the teams earned two corners each. The girls in red and green are scheduled to face Shaanxi U-15 side in their fourth friendly on Tuesday.
