DHAKA, Oct 27, 2025 (BSS)- Bangladesh National Women's Football Team again
suffered a 5-1 goals defeat to host Thailand in the second and ultimate FIFA
International friendly match held at Bang Mo Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand
today (Monday).
From the outset, Thailand looked sharp, hungry and in complete control of the
game.
The early breakthrough came for Thailand in the 12th minute. Thai captain
Saowalak Pengngam, after taking a pass, darted down from the mid field and
sent the ball to the net with a right footer placing shot from the danger
zone, giving no chance to Bangladesh custodian Rupna.
Thailand's second goal followed 11 minutes later and was a product of a solo
effort in the 23rd minute. Jiraporn Mongkoldee, after receiving a long range
pass from midfield, ran down and took a lofted shot from the edge of the D
box giving no chance to custodian Rupna.
Bangladesh fought back in the match following a well work corner routine in
the 29th minute. Shamsunnahar junior reduced the margin with a towering
header utilizing a corner kick taken by Maria Manda from the left wing.
Madison Casteen further widened Thailand's margin scoring the third goal for
Thailand in the 34th minute with a perfect execution from the close range.
Custodian Rupna, however, came forward to clear the ball but could not save
the goal.
Back with a healthy 3-1 lead, Thailand struck again on Bangladesh's tent
after the resumption. Madison Casteen completed her second and fourth goal
for Thailand with a powerful long-range shot in the 54th minute.
Four minutes later, Jiraporn Mongkoldee made the score line 5-1 scoring her
second goal from a spot kick.
Bangladesh desperately tried to reduce the margin in the remaining proceeding
but the Peter Butler side found it difficult to carve open the Thailand
defence. When they did manage to get shots off, Thailand goalkeeper was equal
to the task.
Thailand were tactically astute in the second half, not allowing Bangladesh
time or space to mount a comeback. Anticipating their tendency to push hard
after the break, the hosts closed down passing lanes and nullified any
potential threat.
Bangladesh earlier suffered a 3-0 goals defeat to Thailand in the first
friendly match.
