Boys Remember 2024 Revolution Martyrs

Bangladesh has advanced to the semi-finals of the SAFF U-20 Championship after a 2-0 win over Sri Lanka in their first Group A match at the ANFA Complex in Nepal.

Clinical Performance from Bangladesh

Bangladesh dominated the match from the start, creating several chances before finally breaking the deadlock in the 25th minute through a well-taken goal from Mustafizur Rishad Hridoy.

The young Tigers continued to press for more goals, and their efforts were rewarded in the 65th minute when Hridoy scored his second of the match to seal the victory.

Bangladesh's victory was a fitting tribute to the 2024 revolution martyrs, who fought for the country's independence.

Impressive Form Continues

Bangladesh's victory continues their impressive form in the tournament, having also secured a tight two-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the recently concluded U-19 World Cup.

The team's success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the players and coaching staff.

Semi-Final Challenge Ahead

Bangladesh will now face Nepal in the semi-finals on Tuesday, with the winner to advance to the final against India or Bhutan.

The young Tigers will be confident of their chances, having already defeated Nepal 2-0 in the group stage.

The SAFF U-20 Championship is a major tournament for youth teams in South Asia, and Bangladesh's success is a significant achievement for the country.
