Nepal fall 2-0 to Thailand in International Friendly

Nepal’s national women’s football team faced a 2-0 defeat against Thailand in an international friendly match held at Thammasat Stadium in Bangkok on Monday. The match, part of Nepal’s preparations for the upcoming AFC Women’s Asia Cup Qualifiers in Uzbekistan, saw the hosts score twice in the second half to secure the win.

The first half remained goalless, with both teams testing each other’s defenses but failing to find the breakthrough. Nepal put in a disciplined performance early on, holding off several Thai attacks and creating a few promising moments of their own. However, the deadlock was broken in the 59th minute when Chatchawan Rodthong curled in a well-taken free-kick.

The goal shifted the momentum in Thailand’s favor, and Nepal struggled to regain control of the game. Their attempts to push forward left them vulnerable at the back, and Thailand capitalized again in the 75th minute when Jiraporn Mongkoldee found the net, effectively sealing the match.

Nepal had earlier faced Thailand in a practice match on May 30.
