The Maldives played out a 0-0 draw against Bhutan in their second match of the SAFF U-20 Championship last night.

Both teams were seeking their first win after losing their opening matches, with the Maldives previously defeated by Sri Lanka and Bhutan by Nepal.

The Maldives created several chances, with captain Mohamed Ilan Imran coming close in the first half. Players like Ethan Ibrahim Zaki and Ilan continued to press, but failed to find the net.

In the second half, opportunities remained limited despite attacking efforts, and neither side managed to score, resulting in a stalemate at full time.
