TIBET vs. BHUTAN ? October 31, 2007

In a historic match, Tibet played against Bhutan (ranked 197 in FIFA as of 2007). Bhutan dominated the first half, scoring two excellent goals, with a strong forward. The mixed crowd, waving both Bhutanese and Tibetan national flags rallied to support their respective nations.

Trailing 2 goals, TNFA adjusted their rotation in the second half. Main defense (No. 18) Kegen, moved to midfield as forward (No. 10) covered defense. With this strategic change by coach Jigme, Sonam Rinchen (No. 8) scored on a right corner freekick from nearly 30 yards. As the Tibetan Team quickly gained their new momentum, Kegen (No. 18) set up a brilliant cross for Tsering (No. 6), who headed a goal within minutes of the first one. Tsering "Afrie" had scored 2 days earlier against Manipur.  The game went into overtime but was called off after 15 minutes as the light around the stadium grew too dim for the players. The game would be rescheduled within 2 days.
