Sujal Shrestha scored the soil-tary goal as Nepal defeated Macau 1-0 to claim AFC Solidarity Cup at Sarawak Stadium in Kuching, Malaysia.
Shrestha headed home following a pass from Bharat Khawas in the 29th minute which was enough for Nepal to claim their first title victory outside South Asia. This is Nepal's maiden title in the tournaments organised by the Asian Football Confederation and second this year.

Nepal had won Bangabandhu Gold Cup in Bangladesh in January. Nepal's u-23 team, captained by Biraj
Maharjan, had also won South Asian Games football title in India in February.
Nepal's previous best run in an AFC-organised tournament was a semi-final appearance in AFC Challenge
Cup in Bangladesh in 2016.
