AFC Challenge Cup Qualifiers Group D: Palestine Fight for 1-0 victory over Bangladesh


Bangladesh is disappointed in their first match as they get defeated to Palestine. Deep scored the only goal in the match in 78th minute to define Palestine’s faith. This helps Palestine to collect three points despite they were without some of their key players. First half of the game remained goal less, although Bangladesh missed outstanding opportunity to take the lead. If the chance was utilized, the result would have been completely different. It was 50-50 game in the first half while no team could create goal scoring chances beside some nonthreatening attacks.

Bangladesh’s Dutch coach Lodewijk De Kruif lamented his side's lapses in concentration while Palestine’s Jordananian coach Jamal Mahmoud was not satisfied with the overall performance of his team in the hard-fought win. “My players did not play well and at times luck did not favour us,” he told reporters after the match.
