Sunday, 18 September 2022
The final round berth of Bangladesh from Group B of the five-nation AFC U-20 Asian Cup Qualifiers has become uncertain after losing to Qatar by 0-3 goal at the Sheikh Ali Bin Mohammed Bin Khalifa Stadium in Bahrain on Friday night, reports UNB.
In Friday's crucial match, Ahmed Al Rawi made a hat-trick scoring all three goals for the FIFA World Cup-2022 hosts Qatar in the 23rd, 60th and 90+2 minutes.
After the match, Qatar dominated the group with all-win record securing full nine points from three matches, followed by hosts Bahrain with seven points and Bangladesh with four points.
The slim chance of Bangladesh to reach the 16- team final round is still alive if they can beat all losers Nepal in their last group match today (Sunday) at 9:00 pm Bangladesh time at the same venue.
Two top teams, Qatar and Bahrain, will meet each other tomorrow (Monday) to decide the group champions.
