Nepal has fortified its position in Group B as the fourth-best team, beating Chines Taipei 2-0 in the Asian Qualifiers tournament, which acts as a qualifier for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.<\/p>\n
In the match held at Jaber Al-Hamad International Stadium on Thursday, Nepal\u2019s Anjan Bista opened the scoring with a penalty kick within three minutes, putting the nation ahead. Substitute Nawayug Shrestha doubled the score in the 81st<\/sup> minute.<\/p>\n Already out of FIFA 2022 WC even before Thursday’s match, the defeat against Nepal puts Taipei in the last place in Group B with zero points from six matches.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With this win, the Himalayan nation garnered points from 6 matches. Of the six matches played, Nepal won 2 and lost 4. The win keeps Nepal’s chances of promoting to the 3rd<\/sup> round of qualifying for the 2022 FIFA WC alive.<\/p>\n However, the victory over Taipei puts Nepal in the most challenging position to make their best ever performance in the WC qualifying tournament.<\/p>\n So far, Nepal has never won three matches on the way to the World Cup. A victory in either of their next two matches against Jordan or Australia will tag Nepal with ‘best performance ever in WC qualifier.’<\/p>\n Nepal will face Jordan on June 7, 2020.<\/em><\/p>\n Stay Tuned to NepaliSansar for Latest Nepal Sports News<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n More News:<\/strong><\/p>\n Nepal has fortified its position in Group B as the fourth-best team, beating Chines Taipei 2-0…<\/span><\/p>\n
