Sri Lanka U15 boys’ team failed to impress after their win against Bhutan …
Bangladesh won their second match of the five-nation SAFF U15 Championship 2019 as Al Amin Sarkar scored five times to thrash Sri Lanka. Defending champions Bangladesh dominated the game from the get go, and took a three-goal lead into the first half break.
The Lankans held the stronger opponents at bay until the 32nd minute of the game when Al Amin opened the scoring. From then on it was a one sided affair where the Tigers scored at regular intervals. Skipper Rakibul Islam doubled the score after 10 minutes and Al Amin increased it to a 3-goal lead, 3 minutes after.
Half Time: Sri Lanka 0 – 3 Bangladesh
The second half went in the same direction with Bangladesh scoring early on. The Lankans got a lucky break as the Tigers’ defender miss-directed a header which fell to Muhammad Mihran who slotted home from close range.
