It was a hard game for us. Playing against the home team is always difficult but we stuck to the plan and emerged successfully. The morale of the players was high ever since our win against Bhutan. This win will definitely boost our spirits to go further. – Kiran Shrestha, Assistant Head Coach of Nepali team.

The first goal was a mistake by the goalkeeper and it happens in football. I am extremely proud of the boys. We were caught in the end, but we had to go forward because we had to stay in the competition. Two wins and beating Pakistan was a highlight for us. If the crowd feels disappointed, then I feel sorry for the boys because the effort they have put in doesn’t deserve that. – Jamie Day, Bangladesh Head Coach
