Bangladesh 3-4 Hong Kong Player Ratings: Merkies Rated 9.5/10 as Visitors Took All 3 Points

The match on Bangladesh's home soil against Group C leaders Hong Kong in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers ended in a dramatic 3-4 victory for the visitors. Bangladesh put up a strong fight in the first half, but after the break, they couldn't match the same intensity, allowing Hong Kong to pull ahead. Hamza Choudhury showed real determination to turn the tide, but the goal difference kept growing. Late drama unfolded as Sheikh Morsalin's 84th-minute strike pulled one back for the hosts, making it tense, but it wasn't enough to salvage a point.

The additional nine minutes added after regular time were filled with pure drama. Until the final whistle, it was unclear whether either side would claim victory or if the match would end in a stalemate. However, when the referee allowed five more minutes beyond the 90+9 mark, it proved to be a blessing for the visitors, who seized the moment to score the winner and take all three points.

Goalkeeper

Mitul Marma - 6.0: Faced a tough night with three goals conceded, but made a few key saves early on. Could have done better on the second goal, but stayed composed despite the pressure. Was not able to cope up with the intensity and gave 2 more goals in the additional time.
