The Bhutan Women’s National League turned into a stage for Bangladeshi brilliance this week as Paro FC, powered by a quartet of rising stars from Bangladesh, delivered a record-breaking 28-0 demolition of Samaste Women’s Club—a result that has sent shockwaves across the region’s football circles.
At the heart of this historic rout were Sabina Khatun, Monika Chakma, Rituparna Chakma, and Matsushima Sumaiya, who combined to dismantle their opponents with a level of skill, speed, and cohesion that bordered on the sublime.
The fireworks began early. Sabina, Bangladesh’s trailblazing striker and team captain, opened the scoring in the 8th minute, sparking a goal rush that never let up. By halftime, Paro FC already led 10-0—and they were just getting started.
In the second half, the team ramped up the tempo, adding 18 more goals in an unrelenting offensive. Sabina closed the match as the top scorer with nine goals, followed by Monika Chakma’s brilliant seven-goal haul. Sumaiya netted five, while Rituparna added four to the scoreboard.
Each goal was a display of Bangladeshi flair: sharp dribbles, incisive passes, and clinical finishes. The scoreline wasn’t just lopsided—it was a statement.
The emphatic victory also underlined a broader story: the growing footprint of Bangladeshi women footballers on the international stage. With 10 Bangladeshi players spread across three clubs—Paro FC, Thimphu City (featuring Sanjida Akter), and Transport United (led by Krishna Rani Sarkar)—the league is quickly becoming a showcase for the country’s rising football talent.
Earlier in the tournament, both Thimphu City and Transport United registered convincing wins, with Bangladeshi players at the core. But it was Paro FC’s 28-goal spectacle that has set a new benchmark for dominance and sparked fresh excitement among fans.
For Sabina and her teammates, this is more than just a league outing—it`s a mission to prove that Bangladeshi women can excel globally. Their synergy, leadership, and attacking verve are not just helping their clubs climb the table, but also reshaping perceptions of South Asian women’s football.
With momentum clearly on their side, all eyes are now on Paro FC and the rest of the Bangladeshi contingent. Can they maintain this electric form? Will Sabina and Monika continue their goal-scoring spree? The league may have just witnessed its most thrilling moment yet—but for these women, the journey is just beginning.
