Lebanon toiled hard to beat lower ranked Bangladesh 2-0 in SAFF championship 2023 at Sree Kantiravaa stadium, Bangalore.

Super sub, Hassan Maatouk scored the match winner in 79th minute. Khalil Bader added second goal in the stoppage time.

Spirited Bangladesh defended well in the first half and also had some goal scoring chanches in the second half. But they were blunt upfront.

Bhutan will play against Maldives later this evening.
