U-17 booters bounce back


Bangladesh bounced back from their first match defeat to register a 2-1 victory against Laos in the AFF Under-17 Football Championship in Vietnam on Monday.

Towhidul Islam Sabuj put Bangladesh ahead in the 34th minute, but Laos equalised just one minute after the breather.

Sabbir Mahmud then found the net in the 72nd minute to confirm the victory after a 3-1 defeat against hosts Vietnam in the first game.

Bangladesh play their third and last match against Myanmar today.
