Bangladesh beat Nepal 2-0 margin in their first friendly match of the two-match Mujib Borsho FIFA International Football Series held at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on Friday.
Forward Nabib Newaz Jibon and substitute forward Mahbbur Rahman scored one goal each in either half of the match ensuring the win.
Bangladesh took the lead in the 10th minute when Jibon pushed the ball home inside the box after a cross from forward Saad Uddin from the right side.
Mahbbur, who took the field in the 61st minute to replace debutant forward Suman Reza, doubled the margin in the 80th minute.
In a solo effort, Mahbubur dribbled past two defenders to enter the box and then placed the ball home with a right-footed drive.
