Khatoon Bam Advances to AFC Women’s Champions League Group Stage

The Iranian team defeated Kitchee of Hong Kong, China 2-0 in its Preliminary Stage Group D tie at the Changlimithang National Stadium.

Bam Khatoon finished with a perfect record, having beaten Bhutan’s Royal Thimphu College FC 2-1 on Matchday One and will join Australia’s Melbourne City, Kaya–Iloilo of the Philippines and Thailand’s College of Asian Scholars in Group B of the inaugural edition of the tournament.

Bam Khatoon had their first look on goal in the third minute with Danielle Voss forcing Sara Didar’s headed attempt from inside the box just wide, before Zahra Ghanbari capitalized on a stray pass a minute later only to finish with a tame grounded effort.
