Sabina Khatun-Tahura Akhtar scored 7 goals against Bhutan in the first semi-final of SAFF Championship in Nepal. In contrast, only one goal has been digested. The most talked about scoreline of the World Cup is 7-1. Germany scored seven goals against the hosts in the World Cup semi-final at Brazil's home stadium, Belo Horizonte. Bangladesh girls brought forward the discussed scoreline again. 

After this 7-1 victory, Bangladesh once again entered the final of the Women's Saf. In the entire match, the girls of Bangladesh turned the stick on the girls of Bhutan. Tahura got a hat trick. Two goals came from captain Sabina's legs. One goal each by Rituparna and Masura Parveen. 

However, Bangladesh wrote the epitaph of the match in the first half. Sabina Khatun's team, which was ahead in strength, had a goal celebration in the first 45 minutes. They did not have to wait long to take the first lead. Rituparna Chakma took a powerful shot from outside the D box after receiving a pass from Tahura Khatun in the seventh minute. Bangladesh's flood of goals started from there. 

Tahura doubled the lead in 15 minutes. Of course, Bhutan was responsible for that. Tahura capitalized on the defenders' failure to clear the ball. He hit the target with a left-footed shot from just in front of the D box.

Bhutan had a chance to reduce the gap in the 18th minute. Although the goal was empty for a while, Bhutan's Deki Lajan hit the ball wide. 

Bangladesh captain Sabina Khatun missed an easy chance in the 24th minute. Monika Chakma snatched the ball from her opponent after her shot bounced off the goal post. Receiving his pass, Sabina took a shot from distance. He got the desired goal within a minute of being disappointed. Bangladesh took the lead 3-0.

Tahura scored his second goal in the 35th minute. He took a shot from outside the D box after beating one of the Bhutanese. Tahura's stunning shot gave Bangladesh a 4-goal lead. Sabina hit again in 37 minutes. This time, the Bangladesh captain moved forward with goalkeeper Rupana's extended ball from midfield. Entering the box, he beat the goalkeeper and put the ball into the net from the right side.

In 42 minutes, the girls of Bhutan paid back a goal. Rupana failed to block the shot taken by Deki Lajon. Bangladesh went into the break with a 5-1 goal lead. 

After the break, Bangladesh's game slowed down a bit. Keeping their fitness for the final and playing under the scorching Nepalese sun, there was not much pressing or aggressive attacks. Meanwhile, Tahura completed his hat-trick by getting the ball from Monika Chakma's chip shot in the 57th minute. 

Later, defender Masura Parveen scored the seventh goal for Bangladesh. This defender, who is in great form this season, scored a goal from the corner. Bangladesh left the field with a big victory of 7-1 goals.
