A few days ago, Bangladesh held off Indonesia,

who were 39 points ahead. Coach Peter Butler's team continued that streak last night. This time, the team also held off host Jordan, who were 59 points ahead. Despite falling behind by two goals, Bangladesh drew 2-2.

Bangladesh lost their last match against Jordan in 2021. That too by a margin of 5 goals. Jordan is still 59 places ahead of Bangladesh. They are ranked 74th in the FIFA rankings. Bangladesh is ranked 133rd there.

Bangladesh fell behind early

in the match against that team. The team conceded a goal in the 5th minute. Bangladesh then fought hard against the hosts. They got the goal in the 43rd minute. The goal was scored by Shamsunnahar Junior. The two teams ended the first half tied.

Then, Bangladesh conceded again at the beginning of the second half. The hosts got a goal in the 58th minute. However, Shaheda Akhter Ripa gave Bangladesh an equalizer in the 82nd minute. The team left the field with a 2-2 draw, accumulating 1 point in their pocket.

Bangladesh is facing the Asian Cup qualifiers in the third week of this month. As a preparation for that tournament, the Bangladesh women's team went to Jordan to play two matches. The team drew the first match goalless on May 31. After falling behind twice, the team now shows its dream of playing in the main stage of the Asian Cup.

The 18 footballers had declared a

rebellion against coach Peter Butler. The Bangladesh team went to Dubai without them, and the team lost both matches. This time, Butler called Rituparna Chakma, Maria Manda, Shamsunnahar Junior, and Rupana Chakma from those 18. That team won in Jordan. However, Sabina Khatun, Krishna Rani Sarkar, Sanjida Akhtar, Matsushima Sumaiya, and Masura Parveen remained neglected in the team.
