Bangladesh attackers have wasted the opportunities in the passes and have not had good possessions and that cost them.

SAFF Championships Bangladesh vs Maldives Live Updates: Match Kick off

Hello and welcome to the live updates of another crucial SAFF Championships match between Bangladesh and Maldives at Kanteerva Stadium in Bengaluru. Both teams are more intent on their defence as they have entered with a 4-3-3 formation at the start.

World No. 184 Bangladesh looked ordinary in their first game against much higher-ranked Lebanon (World No. 93), who missed a lot of chances in the first half before their skipper Hassan Maatouk scored and took away Bangladesh's chances of salvaging a point from the game.

Bangladesh's skipper and attacking midfielder Jamal Bhuyan failed to impress as he was an isolated figure for most of the match with the rest of the players busy defending while winger Foysal Ahmed Fahim used his pace to counter but sporadically. The quality of their passing, crossing and finishing was a concern too as Bangladesh often lost the initiative.

World No. 155 Maldives, on the other hand, will be looking to take another step toward the semifinal after they defeated World No. 187 Bhutan 2-0 in their opening group game. Hamza Mohammed provided an early lead to the side from the spot while Naiz Hassan sealed the three points with a goal in the 90th minute.

The side, however, will be without Hassan Raif Ahmed, who saw a late red card in the game. There's no further injury update available from the game. Maldives may qualify for the semis today itself given they beat Bangladesh and Lebanon defeat Bhutan in the evening clash.

In such a scenario, both Lebanon and Maldives will be off to the semis and will square off on the 28th to play for the top spot in the group.
