Bangladesh national football team head coach Javier Cabrera Dooley has lauded his side’s overall performance against Sri Lanka and described young forward Farhaan Ali Wahid’s goal as ‘unbelievable’. The strike, which came during the match at the National Stadium in Dhaka on November 12, played a pivotal role in the team’s victory.

Dooley’s Assessment of Farhaan’s Goal

Speaking to the media after the match, Dooley said the goal was not merely spectacular but also tactically exceptional. “That goal was unbelievable. His dribbling, pace, and finishing—everything combined to make it a complete striker’s goal,” he said. The coach added that such a confident performance would serve as an example for young players in the squad.

Jamal Bhuyan’s Reaction

Former captain Jamal Bhuyan described Farhaan’s effort as one of the best goals he had ever seen at the National Stadium. “There is no need to compare it with Messi or Neymar; this is Farhaan’s goal. His own style and creativity were evident,” Jamal said. However, he also advised the young forward to build his own identity rather than be compared with global stars. “He should focus on his own game, as comparisons always create pressure,” he added.

Match Context and Team Outlook

The win against Sri Lanka is significant for Bangladesh, particularly in the context of preparations for upcoming international competitions. Coach Dooley, satisfied with the performance of the young players, said, “We are moving in the right direction. Players like Farhaan can change the face of Bangladeshi football in the future.” Analysts believe the enthusiasm shown by supporters during the match has further boosted the team’s morale.
