Bangladesh secured the SAFF U-16 Women’s Championship 2024 title after beating India 3-2 on penalties in the exciting final held at ANFA Complex in Kathmandu, Nepal Sunday.
The normal time ended 1-1 after Mariam Binta Hanna cancelled out Anushka Kumari’s early lead in the second half as there was no extra time according to tournament bylaws.
Goalkeeper Yearzan Begum became the star of the final, stopping three attempts after Bangladesh had fought back from a goal down to force the match into a tiebreaker.
