AFC Women's Asian Cup India 2022 Qualifiers - Group G: Jordan power past Bangladesh in opener

Tashkent: Jordan’s bid to reach a third successive AFC Women’s Asian Cup got off to a dream start when they inflicted a 5-0 defeat on Bangladesh at Bunyodkor Stadium on Sunday.

Captain Maysa Jbarah scored three goals in 15 second-half minutes for David Nascimento’s side, building a 2-0 half-time lead which had been built by goals from Shanaz Jebreen and Bana Al Bitar.

The win puts Al Nashmiyat on top of the three-team Group G, with Islamic Republic of Iran to meet both Bangladesh and Jordan over the next six days to determine who will advance to next year’s continental Finals in India.
