Hamza scores from bicycle kick but Bangladesh draw 2-2 in Nepal friendly

Jaws dropped and hands landed on heads as Bangladesh star Hamza Choudhury produced a moment of sheer brilliance that left spectators breathless -- not only at the National Stadium but also in front of TV screens, bringing Bangladesh back into the game in their FIFA friendly against Nepal yesterday. In a match that had offered little to cheer for the home side, the Leicester City midfielder delivered a one-man show, drawing Bangladesh level at 1-1 just a minute after the restart with an outrageous bicycle kick. Hamza then followed it up with an audacious Panenka penalty in the 50th minute to give the hosts a 2-1 lead, and ultimately, their second victory of the year. Hamza now boasts four goals in five matches for Bangladesh. Earlier, Rohit Chand fired Nepal into the lead with a thunderous strike in the 29th minute. Photo: STAR
