Nepal earn hard-fought victory against resilient Saudi Arabia

A late goal by Sukriya Miya earned Nepal their first victory in the AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup Qualifiers campaign.

Both sides came into the tie in search of a win but it was Nepal who enjoyed the lion’s share of possession with Saudi keeper Fajar Sakkaf kept on her toes.

The West Asian side played in patches and came close at the half-hour mark with Maram Alyahya almost finding the target from distance.

Nepal’s aggression came to fruition after they were awarded a penalty only for Meena Deuba to be denied by the woodwork in the 38th minute.

Saudi Arabia almost found the back of the net four minutes from half-time after Lama Alshathry weaved her way into the box before shooting the ball over the bar from close range.

Saudi Arabia kept Nepal at bay for the most of the second half before Sakkaf was finally beaten in the 90th minute.

Deuba’s cutback into the box found an unmarked Miya, who converted coolly past the Saudi Arabia custodian to earn Nepal their first win.

Nepal begin AFC U-20 Asian Cup Qualifiers campaign with draw against Bhutan

Nepal began their campaign in the AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup Qualifiers with a draw against Bhutan.

It only took Nepal 40 seconds to find the back of the net after Sukriya Miya’s lob into the box found its way to Senu Pariyar, who side-stepped Bhutan keeper Pema Yangzom before slotting the ball home.

Bhutan, however, battled back and levelled the score in the 18th minute after Namsel Wangzom played a neat pass to set up Kelden Wangmo, who struck with a clinical finish.

Neither side was able to break the stalemate in the remaining 45 minutes despite Bhutan applying pressure in the closing stages of the game as they settled for a share of the points.

Nepal will now play against Saudi Arabia next on August 6.
