Bangladesh Steals Win From Pakistan With Late Goal. The hosts left it late to beat Pakistan 1-0 in the SAFF Suzuki Cup 2018.

Both the teams came to this match with wins, knowing that a win will take them to the brink of qualification to the semi finals. Pakistan defended and kept Bangladesh out through-out the game, limiting themselves to counter-attacks. Their strategy seemed to be working until Topu Barman scored from close range to break Pakistani hearts.

Bangladesh only needs a draw against Nepal to ensure qualification. Nepal who has a more superior goal difference to Pakistan needs to beat Bangladesh to make sure of a semi final berth. Pakistan will play against Bhutan in the final group game. Even if they draw against Bhutan, they will go through if Nepal loses to Bangladesh. For Bhutan it is almost game over as they need to score 4 goals against Pakistan and hope Bangladesh thrashes Nepal.
