DHAKA: Bangladesh scored in the opening minute to set up a 3-0 win over Pakistan in Wednesday’s first leg of their World Cup qualifier.
Host Bangladesh got the ideal start through Zahid Hasan Emily’s goal, and further strikes by Mohamed Zahid Hosain in the 22nd minute and Rethul Karim in the 56th completed the scoring.
Pakistan will attempt to make up the big deficit when it hosts Sunday’s second leg, with the eventual winner to meet Lebanon in the second round of Asian qualifying.
