Observer Online Report

Bangladesh have made history by securing their first-ever victory against a European team on their soil.

Topu Barman scored twice to overturn a first-half goal conceded through weak defending. He netted the first goal in the 19th minute. But 12 minutes later, Nicolas Giacopetti levelled the score.

Bangladesh took the lead through Topu just four minutes before the final whistle.

San Marino are at the bottom in the FIFA rankings, holding the 211th position. Bangladesh are 30 notches ahead of them.
