Bangladesh endured a tough evening but showed resilience and composure before eventually falling 5-0 to DPR Korea in their second Group B match of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026 on Friday at Western Sydney Stadium. Bangladesh goalkeeper Mile Akter made several important saves while the backline absorbed constant pressure from the DPR Korea attack. Just two minutes later, Kim Kyong-Yong doubled the lead with a precise finish from the right side of the area to send DPR Korea into halftime with a 2-0 advantage. Despite the scoreline, Bangladesh continued to battle and showed flashes of attacking intent, while Mile Akter remained busy with a number of saves. While the result was heavy, Bangladesh can take encouragement from their composed first-half performance against one of Asia’s strongest sides.
