Bangladesh U-16 women's team have drawn 2-2 against Australia in the group stage of the AFC U-16 Championship.
Tohura gave Bangladesh an early lead in the 21st minute. The first half ended with Bangladesh leading by 1-0.
Australia managed to crawl back into the game by scoring on the 76th minute but Tohura took only a minute to regain Bangladesh's lead. But Australia managed to score on the 80th minute again to end the match in a stalemate.
This result comes as a big shock as there is a huge disparity between the ranking of the sides. Bangladesh sits on 130 whereas the Australians are ranked eighth.
Bangladesh earlier were knocked out from the group stages after suffering defeats to hosts Thailand and World Champions Japan.
