Maldives draws first match VS Nepal

The Maldives drew its first match at the ongoing SAFF Championship tournament in Nepal.

The defending champions were held 1-1 by Nepal on Saturday. Striker Ahmed Thoriq (Tom) gave the Maldives the lead in the 60th minute with an accurate shot in the penalty area after taking the ball past the Nepalese keeper.

But, Nepal equalised eight minutes later with Ju Manu Rai latching on to a pass from Yogesh Shreshtha.

Maldives will next face Afghanistan.
