Nepal manages a win at last: Consolation victory over Pakistan

Nepal scored late in the match to beat Pakistan 1-0 in their last SAFF Championship 2023, Group A match at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Tuesday, June 27.

The goal for Nepal came in the 80th minute when Laken Limbu provided an assist, setting up Ashish Chaudhary for the crucial goal.

This win brought a bit relief to the Nepalese team after facing disappointment in their previous two matches. In their opening match, they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Kuwait, followed by a 2-0 loss to India in the second match. With this victory against Pakistan, Nepal salvaged some pride despite being eliminated from the first round.

While Nepal finished their campaign with three points from as many matches, Pakistan are returning home without a point in their kitty. India and Kuwait have already qualified for the semi-finals from this group.
