Bangladesh secured a 2-0 victory.

The Bangladesh U20 team had a smooth start in the South Asian U20 Championship with an easy win over Pakistan U20.

In the group stage of the South Asian U20 Championship, Bangladesh U20 made an impressive debut in Group B by defeating Pakistan 2-0.

In this match, Ronan Sullivan shone by scoring a double in his first appearance for Bangladesh U20. In the first half, Ronan faced difficulties due to insufficient support from teammates, making ball possession quite challenging. Therefore, the two teams left the field at halftime with a 0-0 draw.

In the second half, the Bangladesh players attacked more aggressively. They opened the scoring at the 53rd minute with a beautiful free kick by Ronan. By the 67th minute, the star born in 2007 completed his double, raising the score to 2-0 for the home team. From a cross on the left flank by a teammate, he leaped high and headed accurately, defeating the Pakistani goalkeeper. No further goals were scored in the remaining minutes, and Bangladesh concluded the match with a 2-0 victory.

This result helped Bangladesh U20 temporarily lead Group B with three points. In the second match, Coach Mark Cox's squad will face India U20.

While the U20 players are aiming for the championship in the South Asian U20 Championship, the Bangladesh national team has arrived in Hanoi to prepare for the friendly match against the Vietnam national team..

Although not rated as highly as the Southeast Asian representative, the Bangladesh players still promise to deliver a notable performance, capable of posing significant challenges for Coach Kim Sang Sik's team.

During this training camp, the focus is on captain Hazam Choudhury, a player competing for Leicester City in England. With experience in top-level environments, the star born in 1997 is expected to create many challenges for Vietnam's midfield, where players like Hoàng Đức, Quang Hải, or Thành Long are likely to feature.

After arriving in Vietnam on March 24, Choudhury will have another team training session before the match at Hàng Đẫy Stadium.

The aforementioned friendly match will take place at 19:00 tomorrow evening (March 26).
