Monika’s celebration after the goal on BFF Facebook page
Chinese referee Mu Min Jian blew the final whistle. However, there was no excessive joy among the players of the Bangladesh women’s team. They shook hands with their opponents and left the field in a somewhat calm manner. In total, the girls played ten more matches.
However, the scene changed after a while. The players scored goals and cheered on the field. They took group photos with the coaching staff holding the national flag. At that time, the girls were having a little fun. Bangladesh not only finished the group stage by thrashing Turkmenistan 7-0, but also made history by defeating Myanmar and qualifying for the final round of the Women’s Asian Cup for the first time.
Bangladesh secured a place in the main round of the Women’s Asian Cup to be held in Australia in 2026 by defeating Myanmar 2-1. As a result, the last match against Turkmenistan was largely a matter of respecting the rules. But without compromising on dignity, the girls started the match like champions. The scoreline stood at 6-0 in just 21 minutes. There were 7 goals in the first half. Although there were no goals in the second half, it did not change the momentum of the match. Midfielder Monica Chakma, who also scored a goal, came to the press conference for her excellent performance in this match. An excited Monica said, “It feels great. Because we have qualified for the final round of 2026. We are very happy.” Then she added, “We want to play more matches like this and get better results. Thank you to all my teammates for today. Everyone helped everyone a lot.”
