The Bangladesh women's football team created history on Tuesday when they defeated India in the group-closing match of the SAFF Women's Championship at the Dasharath Rangasala Stadium in Kathmandu, earning their first victory.
In their final group-stage match, Bangladesh defeated five-time SAFF winners India 3-0 thanks to goals from Sirat Jahan Swapna (2) and Krishna Rani Sarkar (1). Bangladesh significantly outplayed their opponent throughout the game despite being ranked 89 places lower than India in the FIFA rankings.
