Nepal went down to title favorites Tajikistan 2-1 in a gripping third match of the AFC U-19 Championship group 'A' qualifiers on Thursday at the Dasharath Stadium.

Nepal took early lead on the first half of the match through a goal by Nirajan Malla and gave the home side better chances to qualify for the next round.

But the strong Tajikistan players soon hit back and leveled the score by converting a penalty which the central Asian team got after one of its players was brought down inside the penalty box.

But the Nepali fans were left disappointed after Tajikistan scored another goal soon after half-time and maintained the lead until the final whistle was blown.

With the win, Tajikistan tops the table with wins in all three matches and has already booked its place in the next round.

Nepal, on the other hand, has one win and two losses and has almost squandered its chances to qualify for the next round

After losing to another title favorites Yemen in its first match, Nepal went on to win against Kyrgyzstan on Tuesday to keep the chances of advancing to the next round alive. nepalnews.com
