Despite creating a number of scoring opportunities, Bangladesh was deprived of their desired victory as they played to a goalless draw with
Mongolia in the second FIFA Tier-1 International friendly match held today
(Tuesday) at Sylhet district stadium.
Bangladesh showed dominance from the beginning to the end of
the match. They created attacks on the field after the spectators chanted
slogans, but the booters lost the scoring opportunity. The crossbar also stood
in their way. So the expected goal was not achieved in the match.
The start was a strong one for the hosts, with Rakib Hossain
almost creating a goal-scoring opportunity in the second minute with a fine low
cross from the left, but Sumon Reza could not tap the ball into no man's land
inside the box.
Left-back Yeasin Arafat then provided through-ball for
Mohammad Ibrahim inside the D-box, but he lost his balance in his attempt to
control the ball in the 35th minute.
Bangladesh was deprived of another certain goal in the 40th
minute. Suman Reza must consider him as unlucky as his excellent left footer
shot from the vantage position returned to play after hitting the crossbar.
Suman again missed the easiest chance of the match in the
injury time of the first half, smashing a brilliant volley over the crossbar
from the vantage position following a header from Yeasin on a free-kick from the skipper Jamal Bhuyan.
After resumption, the hosts continued their onslaught
creating a number of scoring opportunities, but failed to convert any of those
into a goal lacks proper finishing. As a result, Bangladesh had to leave the
field to withdraw.
New coach Javier Cabrera's side failed to score in front of
thousands of fans at the Sylhet District Stadium. Bangladesh was ahead in the
fight for possession of the ball in both halves. But, Jamal Bhuiyan and co.
failed to achieve the goal.
After the 2-0 defeat to the Maldives in the first friendly match
in the Maldives, the football fans expected a positive outcome from the team
utilizing the home ground advantage against Mongolia. The stadium was filled
with spectators who came to support the team from the big bowl, but they had to
return home with a broken heart as Bangladesh was deprived of victory.
The last match between the two teams was drawn 2-2 back 21 years ago.
