Pakistan reach SAFF final for first time by beating Bangladesh
Bangladesh put up a great fight until the 84th minute. Hamza Choudhury’s side launched one attack after another on Pakistan’s defence. But all dreams ended due to their own mistake in the last moment. Bangladesh’s dream of reaching the final of the SAFF Championship after 21 years on home soil was not fulfilled. The hosts had to exit the semi-final after conceding a goal in the 85th minute. Pakistan have secured a place in the final for the first time in history with a 1-0 win.
