DHAKA, Oct 30, 2024 (BSS)-The first half final match between Bangladesh and host Nepal of the SAFF Women’s Championship ended goalless at Dasharath Rangasala Stadium in Kathmandu, Nepal on Wednesday.

In the first half, both the teams got several scoring chances but Nepal was deprived from a certain goal in the 10th minute. 

Sabitra Bandhari, after receiving a long pass from midfield, provided a close pass to Amisha Karki who took a right footer shot from the top of the box but the ball returned to play after hitting the cross bar. 

Amisha again came close of scoring for Nepal in the 28th minute. This time standing inside the D box she failed to receive the ball properly from Sabrita despite finding Bangladesh custodian Rupna helpless under the bar.

Though Bangladesh produced a little organized attack in the first half but got two corners. However, Sabina and Co. could not make the best use of those.
