Bangladesh surprised higher-ranked Afghanistan as they played a 1-1 draw in their second-leg match of the joint qualifiers round two for FIFA World Cup 2022 and AFC Asian Cup 2023 at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, Qatar on Thursday.
Defender Topu Barman scored a fabulous late goal in the 84th minute that confirmed Bangladesh’s only second point in the ongoing qualifiers after Afghan forward Amiruddin Mohammad Anwar Sharifi gave his side the lead in the 48th minute.
Bangladesh will now face India in their penultimate match on June 7 before they take on Oman on June 15 in their last qualifier match, both at the same venue.
