Match Report
Bangladesh claimed a memorable away victory, beating San Marino 2-1 in a friendly at the Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle — with Topu Barman scoring twice to secure the points in dramatic fashion.
Barman broke the deadlock in the 19th minute, finishing off a move started by Shekh Morsalin. San Marino responded well — Nicolas Giacopetti equalised in the 31st, converting an assist from Filippo Berardi to send the teams level at the break. But with just four minutes left, Barman struck again to seal his brace and clinch all three points for the visitors.
The final stretch turned scrappy: five yellow cards were dished out in a frantic ten-minute spell, with Giacopetti, Lorenzo Capicchioni, and Lorenzo Lazzari all booked for San Marino. No red cards were shown and no penalties were awarded.
A significant result for Bangladesh, who rarely beat European opposition and will take real confidence from this outing. For San Marino, the late breakdown after a spirited equaliser makes for a deflating afternoon.
