Bangladesh vs Singapore
In the build-up to the match, the Singapore women’s national football team was looking to avenge their previous 3-0 defeat to the opposing camp, Bangladesh, and brought in Borussia Dortmund striker Danelle Tan into their starting lineup.
However, Bangladesh remained on its toes, showed no signs of going easy on Singapore, and was even, at times, more aggressive in the game.
During the first match, Bangladesh’s formidable duo, Tahura Khatun and Ritu Porna Chakma, took hold of the reigns and led Bangladesh in scoring.
The Singapore Women’s Team
Although Bangladesh thrashed Singapore 8-0 in the second leg of their two-game series this month, all hope is not lost for Singapore.
