 90+4'   Full Time  Matach drawn though pakistan looks more effective.Nepal should take    advantage of this result. Pakistan skipper-cum-goalie, Jaffar Khan is the man of the match. Stay with us for Nepal vs Maldives match. 

90+2'   Pakistan has another chance here to score the goal, Shakeer finds the ball after Bengali goalie, Biplop spills the ball, Sakeer tries his best but his strike skies over the bar. 
 90'         Into added time, can someone grab a late goal!!   

                    88' Islam crosses from the right from Bangladesh..but too high leaving Ilievski rather irritated on the touchline


               86′
The Bangladesh skipper takes a knock...and the players have some respite.





          83'  With Bangladesh putting men to attack, Pakistan look dangerous on the counter-attack..             
80′
The Pakistan defense is holding solid as Bangladesh is reduced to wayward long shots.
79′
Mamun with a wayward shot for Bangladesh. End to End stuff.
79′
Again Pakistan breaks...Kaleem breaks but shoots straight at the goalkeeper...slight slippery surface...since he clearly was losing his footing
76′
Great save from Jaffar Khan from a prompt shot by Mithun...again Mishu is the dangerman from the left
75′
Through ball...Pathan was almost clear...but the Bangladesh LB covers well.
74′
Quick counter-attack by Pakistan but the last man Islam is fouled...and danger averted.  
                  
      74'  Mishu finds a lot of space on the left...but his cross is cleared by the Pakistni defenders...by Kamran Khan..


                 73'     Adnan Ahmed with a freekick and the Bangladesh GK punches the ball away..to safety   

           72'   The Pakistan coach looks agitated as Pakistan has squandered some good chances to put the match beyond doubt         

                 70' Pakistan nearly cored...from a long ball...Pathan flicks over the goalkeeper...but somehow cleared off the line

                  65' The tempo of the game looks to be increasing a couple of notches now as we have already crossed the hour mark without a single goal...


               62'    That was close... A curling ball coming in towards the diving Bangladesh   keeper... Goes wide

                 60'  Good chance for Pakistan, but the rival keeper comes off his line to make the save as he looks to have sustained a knock on his face

                58'   Free-kick for Pakistan... Off a few moves the ball reaches the other end and into the hands of the Bangladesh keeper...


 55 'Pakistan goalie, Jaffar khan was injured but managed to recover and is playing now. 0-0 draw.

Match Preview of Pakistan Vs Bangladesh in SAFF championship 2011 is here. The 2011 SAFF Championship kicks off in style with a Group B encounter pitting the top ranked team of the group (infact the whole competition) against the minnows Pakistan. Certainly a David vs Goliath battle where Bangladesh would like to make their intentions clear while Pakistan would be ever ready to spring a surprise.



The two teams had last met over two legs in the first round of the 2014 FWorld Cup Qualifier where Bangladesh had humbled Pakistan at Dhaka netting 3 goals past them while conceding none, and had played out a comfortable draw at the return leg, eliminating Pakistan in the process.

Both teams have seen a change of coaches, with Bangladesh replacing the short lasting Jovanoski with Nikola Ilievski and Pakistan getting  Zaviša Milosavljević on board to replace Tariq Lutfi.

Bangladesh might as well be favourites for the match with their frontman Ameli, a constant threat having already scored against Pakistan in the WCQ. Moreover, they will be striving to do their much higher ranking justice.

Pakistan, on the other hand, with their physical style of play and new tactics employed by new coach Milosavljevic, they certainly have a few tricks hidden up their sleeve. Moreover, with the coach calling on foreign based players, notably Adnan Ahmed and Atif Bashir from England and Wales, they certainly have a chance to pull off an early upset.



Facts about Both Team

  • Bangladesh are the highest ranked team in the competition ranked 142 in the world.
  • Bangladesh have faced Pakistan 14 times and just have an edge winning 6 and drawing 3.
  • Bangladesh have won the SAFF Championship once before in 2003.
  • In the last edition Bangladesh were knocked out in the S/F by eventual champions India but still scored the most goals in the tournament (11 goals).
  • Veteran Pakistan Player Zesh Rehman had played for top English clubs like Fulham and QPR but has not been selected in the squad.
  • Interestingly, Pakistan among the 8 nations, have the most number of players plying their trade overseas from Denmark to Wales to England.
