Bangladesh crash out of SAFF championship

Nepal stepped in to the SAFF championship final after 10-men Bangladesh made a 1-1 draw in the group deciding match at Male National Stadium in Maldives on Wednesday (October 13).

This was their second draw in four matches and has effectively ruled them out of the competition. 

Earlier, Bangladesh got off to a good start in the tournament by beating Sri Lanka, and continued the spirit as they held strong Indian outfit to 1-1, despite playing with 10 men for a large part of the game.

However, they lost to hosts Maldives in their third game.
