Bangladesh concluded their campaign at the FIFA U-15 World Cup & Festival in Baku, Azerbaijan, on a triumphant note. Bouncing back from a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Burundi in their previous fixture, the young red-and-green squad secured a historic 3-1 victory over Fiji in their final Group G match.
With this decisive win, Bangladesh wraps up their group stage campaign with a record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses across five international matches.
Two Goals in Two Minutes: Bangladesh launched an aggressive offensive right from the opening whistle. Mohammad Bayezid put Bangladesh ahead in the 4th minute with a clinical finish. Before Fiji could recover, Fahim doubled the lead in the 5th minute with a spectacular long-range strike.
First-Half Dominance: Bangladesh went into the halftime break holding a commanding 2-0 lead, maintaining total tactical dominance throughout the opening 45 minutes.
Fiji Pulls One Back & Bayezid Seals the Win: Early in the second half (8th minute of the half), an unfortunate defensive own goal allowed Fiji to reduce the deficit to 2-1. However, in the closing minutes of the match, Mohammad Bayezid beat the Fijian goalkeeper to score his second goal of the day, sealing a memorable 3-1 victory for Bangladesh.
Final Campaign Record: The Bangladesh U-15 side leaves Azerbaijan having earned valuable points and international exposure, finishing their five-game group run with 5 points (1W-2D-2L).
