Fresh off a record 10-0 setback against North Korea, Bangladesh women's football team absorbed a 6-0 thrashing from South Korea on Thursday in their second Group F fixture of the 20th Asian Games or Aichi-Nagoya 2026 at Nagai Stadium in Osaka, Japan.

Tactical reshuffles by Bangladesh head coach Peter Butler—reinstating Rituporna Chakma, Monika Chakma, Rupna Chakma, and Shamsunnahar to the starting lineup—failed to stem a heavily lopsided encounter dictated by the Taegeuk Ladies.

South Korea established a 2–0 half-time cushion courtesy of Kim Minji's opener in the 16th minute and Jeong Dabin's strike in the 42nd.

The floodgates opened further after the interval as substitute Choe Yuri netted in the 65th minute, Ji Soyun converted in the 77th, Seoulgi Hyun added another in the 79th, and Yoojin Ko stamped the final scoreline during stoppage time (90+1').

Statistical dominance heavily favored South Korea, who controlled roughly 75% possession, registered 20 total attempts with 13 on target, and converted six. Bangladesh mustered a lone shot on target across 90 minutes.

Cumulative group play leaves Bangladesh winless and goalless with 16 conceded markers heading into their final Group F fixture against Myanmar on Monday, September 21.
