Bangladesh women’s football team’s head coach Golam Rabbani Choton said that his charges are much more experienced compared to their 2017 self after Bangladesh thumped high-ranked Malaysia 6-0 in the first of the two FIFA friendlies played at the Birshreshtha Shaheed Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Kamalapur today.

It can be argued that a hypothetical audience who only watched the last ten minutes of the Under-19 SAFF Championships final while somehow being unaware of the score-line might have gotten the impression that Bangladesh were desperately chasing the game in search of a late equaliser.
