Bangladesh U-16 girls staged a brilliant comeback in the second half to play out a 2-2 draw against Korean side Hwacheon Information Industry High School Women's Football Club in a friendly at KFA National Training Centre in Paju, South Korea on Monday.
Youngster Sanjida Akhter found the back of the net while defender Shamsunnahar also netted one in the last 20 minutes of the game to help the visitor come back from a two-goal deficit.
This was Bangladesh’s third friendly in their 10-day long camp in South Korea, which ends on Thursday.
The Bengal girls lost their first friendly against their South Korea counterparts a day after their arrival before outplaying a local opposition 9-0 in the second friendly three days ago.
The home side went ahead in the 27th minute through a goal by Thapu before Chimg Ching Wu doubled the lead in the 63rd minute.
Bangladesh went for a far more attacking strategy after that and duly got the rewards.
Winger Sanjida, who can also play as a right-back, reduced the arrears 10 minutes later.
Shamsunnahar restored parity five minutes later.
