সংগৃহীত ছবি

Bangladesh fought back from a goal down to hold Lebanon to a 1-1 draw after Sheikh Morsalin scored with a powerful long-range shot in the World Cup Qualifiers fixture at the Bashundhara Kings Arena on Tuesday.

The 18-year-old forward, took the ball in the middle of the opposition half in the 72nd minute and unleashed a powerful right-footed diagonal attempt which the Lebanese keeper could only watch sail into the net.

Morsalin's strike came as a relief for the home team in front of a full-house crowd after Bangladesh had conceded the lead four minutes earlier, with defender Bishwanath Ghosh's miscued clearance from a goalmouth scramble was turned in by substitute Lebanon forward Osman Majeed.
