While Sunil Bal doubled Nepal’s lead to bring a sudden shift in the game, Bharat Khawas and Nirajan Khadka hit Nepal’s third and fourth goals to finish the rout.
“After taking over the national team, I particularly focused and worked on the set pieces. We don’t have any other option other than beating Bhutan and keep alive our qualification hopes. We prepared and structured the players to get the best out of the set pieces and that’s how we won,” says Balgopal Maharjan Nepal Head Coach .
Goalkeeper Kiran Limbu led the Nepali football team in place of captain Biraj Maharjan, which marked Limbu’s first such role as the captain of the national football team.
This victory adds another success story to Nepal’s sports journey, especially with Bhutan, which got defeated by Nepal in all the last seven matches played.
