28-0: Bangladesh quartet run riot as Paro smash Bhutan league record

Bangladesh's finest lit up the 2025 BoB Bhutan Women's National League in spectacular fashion as Sabina Khatun, Monika Chakma, Rituporna Chakma, and Sumaya Matsushima combined to power Paro WFC to an outrageous 28–0 win over Samtse WFC on Thursday, setting a new record for the biggest victory in tournament history.

The Bangladeshi quartet accounted for 25 of the 28 goals between them in a staggering display of dominance at the Samtse Artificial Turf.

Sabina Khatun led the way with a nine-goal masterclass, showing her trademark composure and precision in front of goal. Monika Chakma bagged a stunning seven, Sumaya struck five and Rituporna had four goals to her name.

Sabina opened the scoring in the 9th minute, and once Monika made it 2–0 in the 20th, the floodgates burst. Paro scored nine goals in 21 minutes to go into half-time with a 10–0 lead.

In the second half, the Bangladesh brigade only accelerated. Sabina broke the league's previous scoring record of 15–0 with her sixth of the day in the 64th minute, and Paro showed no signs of letting up, striking 12 more times before full-time.
