Bangladesh got off to a good start after losing to Sri Lanka
Bangladesh won, Oscar won
At a press conference the day before, Bangladesh captain Jamal Bhuiyan said the expatriates would be an additional inspiration to them in the Maldives. On the day Bangladesh first practiced in Male, the expatriate Bangladeshis went to the field and came with the encouragement of the red and green jersey holders.
The expatriate Bangladeshis also graced the gallery in the opening match of the SAF Championship against Sri Lanka on Friday. The whole time they have inspired Jamal Bhuiyan with the slogan 'Bangladesh-Bangladesh'.
There were restrictions on spectator access to the stadium due to covid. Even then, hundreds of expatriate Bangladeshis went to the field and supported the party. Seeing the red-green jersey on their bodies, the national flag in their hands, and the cap-cap on their heads, it seemed as if Tapu Varmans were playing matches in the country. The Bangladesh team did not turn away the expatriates either. He has made a good start by losing to Sri Lanka by spreading dominance.
The Bangladesh Football Federation has given the responsibility of the SAF Championship by borrowing Bashundhara Kings' Spanish coach Oscar Brujan. With this match, Brujan has made his debut in the dugout of any country's national team.
The Spanish made his debut in victory. BFF abruptly replaces Jamie Day, who has been in charge for almost three-and-a-half years. The challenge for the new coach was to get a good start in a short span of practice. He won the challenge.
Apart from Sri Lanka, the rest of the teams in this tournament are ahead of Bangladesh. So Bangladesh was the favorite before the match. Tapu-Rakibs left the field with full points after playing like favorites in the match as well. They have won themselves, the coach also has a smile on his face.

Coach Oscar Brujan made a change in the XI in the second half. Saduddin was fielded instead of Jewel Runner. In the 56th minute, a Sri Lankan defender took the ball in his hand to stop Bangladesh's attack.
When the referee ordered a penalty, Tapu Varman put the team ahead with a goal. This Tapui could have scored in the injury time of the first half. The forward took a great header from Yassin Arafat's long cross. But the Sri Lankan goalkeeper jumped to the left and saved the team in exchange for a corner.
However, the Lankans were not saved in the end. Bangladesh left the field with a victory in the end with the only goal scored by Tapur from the penalty spot.
