Football News: Bangladesh hold India to 1-1 draw in group match

India held to a 1-1 draw by Bangladesh in their penultimate group stage match of the SAFF U-15 Women's Championship at Thimpu . India was first to break the deadlock as Amisha Baxla scored in the 24th minute to put India ahead. However, the lead was short-lived as Bangladesh equalized through Sapna Rani two-minutes later. India slowly started to claw their way back in the game and second-half substitute Kiran looked lively down the left flank. She created the best chance of the half as she ran down the left, and cut it back for Amisha, but the latter's shot was straight to the keeper. Lynda had another chance from a goal-mouth scramble with a couple of minutes of regulation time left, but her reflex shot flew over the crossbar. India and Bangladesh ended on seven points in the group stage. However, India finished on top of the group by virtue of better goal difference. The two sides will face each other again in the final.
