Nepal Police Club Defeats Chandragadhi to Reach Quarter-Finals

BHADRAPUR — Nepal Police Football Club (NPC), considered title favourites, secured a decisive 6-0 win over hosts Chandragadhi Youth Club on Monday. This victory at the Chandragadhi Women’s Gold Cup sends NPC to the quarter-finals. There, they will face India’s Rani Laxmibai Sports Academy. **The Rekha Poudel Show** Striker Rekha Poudel led the match, becoming the season’s first hat-trick scorer. NPC opened the scoring within the first minute. Poudel capitalised on a header from Mina Deuba. Deuba then doubled the lead by converting a rebound from Chandragadhi goalkeeper Shabnam Rai. Mina scored her individual second goal in the 29th minute, courtesy of a pass from Samjhana Lawati. By the 38th minute, Poudel collected the ball at midfield and completed a solo run. She scored to make it 4-0 before halftime. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/tPcaGL6Q8JGJW6ystR8YuxIZTS2bBgoIO8za1s7i.jpg) **Tactical Dominance and Missed Consolations** In the second half, NPC continued to control possession. Substitute Anushka Sherpa scored in the 72nd minute after an assist from Poudel. Five minutes later, Poudel completed her hat-trick by heading in a cross from Deuba. She secured the team's sixth goal. Chandragadhi had a chance to score in first-half stoppage time after a mistake by NPC goalkeeper Usha Nath. But Rekha Bista was unable to convert the opportunity. Rekha Poudel from Nepal Police was adjudged the player of the match. The Chandragadhi Women’s Gold Cup is a significant event for women’s football in Nepal. It offers a record-breaking prize pool for a domestic tournament. Looking ahead, APF Football Club will face Okhaldhunga’s Padma Sporting Club on Tuesday.

Munich’s Crown Restored: Bayern Blitz Stuttgart to Reclaim Bundesliga Throne

German football’s dominant force is back on top. On a loud Sunday in Munich, Bayern Munich didn’t just beat VfB Stuttgart 4-2—they took back their crown, reclaiming their status as league leaders and making the Bundesliga feel like a celebration in their honour with four games left to play. Thirty-five titles are a remarkable achievement, yet for a time, it seemed at risk when Leverkusen went unbeaten in 2024. Vincent Kompany, brought in after the Tuchel era, has helped steady the team and made it challenging for rivals to keep pace. The afternoon started with a shock that stunned the Allianz Arena. Chris Führich quieted the Bavarian crowd in the 21st minute, slotting home a clinical ball from Bilal El Khannouss. For a moment, Bayern’s anticipated title celebration seemed postponed. That setback quickly galvanised Bayern to respond with determination. It wasn’t just a comeback—it was a dominant display. In just six minutes, Bayern completely changed the game’s momentum. Raphael Guerreiro scored after Jamal Musiala broke through the Stuttgart defence. Two minutes later, Nicolas Jackson added another goal. Five minutes after that, Alphonso Davies scored the third. Suddenly, the outcome was clear. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/Ss3S5FyFUhRtYJr8Y1z4NwX9mFMmLmU4m3nUpLcl.jpg) But the main story in Munich is about the player wearing number nine, who is central to Bayern’s success. Harry Kane scored a fourth goal after halftime, giving him 32 this season as Bayern broke the league’s all-time goal record. They have scored 109 goals so far. Kane is trying to reach Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals. He needs nine more in four games. It’s hard, but the way he’s playing, it could happen. "All the hard work, this makes it all worth it," Kane said afterwards, holding another winner's medal. He’s on pace to be the first player to win the scoring title in his first three seasons. He’s more than a striker—he’s showing he’s one of the best. Bayern can still win three trophies this season. They will play Bayer Leverkusen in the cup and PSG in the Champions League on April 28. But tonight, Munich is celebrating its team. Kompany has brought Bayern back to the top. They now lead by 15 points. Dortmund and the other teams are far behind and no longer a threat. And they look hungrier than ever.

Haaland Ends Drought as City Edges Arsenal in High-Stakes Title Clash

MANCHESTER – The Premier League title race shifted at the Etihad Stadium as Erling Haaland ended his scoring drought, helping Manchester City to a hard-fought 2-1 win over league leaders Arsenal. The match was tense and featured some big mistakes. However, Haaland’s second-half goal not only secured three points for City but also ended his two-month goal drought and put City back in the title race. **The Decisive Blow** In the 65th minute, Nico O’Reilly, making his mark in the first team, sent in a perfect cross. Haaland outmuscled Gabriel Magalhães and headed the ball in, igniting the Etihad crowd. For Haaland, the goal brought huge relief after not scoring since February. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/pty2HRtXJRhA4Mmfd822zUn9c4ntaeNCyLRtEQst.png) **A Tale of Two Blunders** The match started at a fast pace. City struck first in the 16th minute when Rayan Cherki finished calmly to give the home team an early lead. However, City almost lost that momentum when their experienced goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, made a costly mistake. Two minutes after City’s goal, Donnarumma’s poor clearance handed Arsenal the ball. Kai Havertz capitalised, scoring to tie the game and silence the Manchester fans. **Arsenal’s Late Frustration** Despite falling behind, Arsenal showed why they have led the league. Eberechi Eze and Gabriel both hit the post, nearly sparking a comeback for Mikel Arteta’s team. In stoppage time, Havertz had a chance to tie the game and keep Arsenal top, but his header sailed over the bar. With this result, Manchester City sits three points behind Arsenal with a game in hand. A win against Burnley on Wednesday will put City ahead on goal difference. **Premier League Round-Up** There was plenty of drama in other Premier League matches as well: **Merseyside Derby**: Liverpool edged Everton 2-1 in a fiercely contested local battle. **Goal Fest**: Aston Villa triumphed over Sunderland in a seven-goal thriller, winning 4-3. **Claret Collapse**: Nottingham Forest beat Burnley 4-1, a bad sign for Burnley before their mid-week game against City.

CAN Approves $500K for Women’s Cricket and Reveals NPR 473M Revenue from NPL Season 2

The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) Central Working Committee met on April 6, 2026.

These actions aim to strengthen cricket infrastructure and improve financial transparency. The meeting recognised the commercial success of the Nepal Premier League (NPL), whose second edition generated revenue of NPR 473.6 million. After NPR 219.6 million in expenses, NPR 161.8 million was distributed to eight franchise teams. The board approved the tournament’s financial statements. CAN scheduled its next Annual General Meeting for May 10–11, 2026, in Biratnagar, and set a mid-June deadline for 20 district committees to complete pending elections to ensure effective governance.

Lumbini Pulls Off Super Over Heist: APF Giants Toppled in Birgunj Thriller

LUMBINI, NEPAL – Near the Maya Devi Temple, birthplace of the Buddha and a symbol of peace, Lumbini Province secured a hard-fought Super Over win against the powerful APF Club. The PM Cup match started as a low-scoring contest before turning into a tense thriller, ending in a tie-breaker with Lumbini just one run short. Santosh Yadav stood out, dismantling the APF lineup at key moments. **The Super Over Showdown** Both teams scored 124, heightening tension. Lumbini batted first in the tie-breaker, scoring 14 despite losing opener Akash Tripathi for zero. Yadav added 8 runs quickly. Defending 15 runs, Yadav then bowled. He dismissed captain Rohit Paudel for one and then limited Lokesh Bam and Sundeep Jora to a combined five runs. APF closed with 6 runs for 1 wicket. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/ZqfBIT3gBKyBYeZA4WOu25ByEoHx3JgwDScHn3ZE.jpg) **The Collapse and the Comeback** Despite several national players, APF struggled and were all out for 124 in under 40 overs. Abhishek Gautam, batting in the lower order, top-scored with 28. For Lumbini, Ajay Chauhan took 4 wickets for 14 runs. Lumbini’s chase looked easy with Captain Dev Khanal (45) and Akash Tripathi (32) at the crease. Then, they lost their last nine wickets for only 50 runs and struggled to finish. **Shifting the Table** This win moves Lumbini to fifth with five points. APF, usually strong, drops to sixth. Lumbini showed determination and resilience, overcoming tough challenges to win.

Lamichhane’s Seven-Wicket Blitz Crushes Karnali in PM Cup

Lamichhane’s Seven-Wicket Blitz Crushes Karnali in PM Cup

JANAKPUR: On Wednesday, Sandeep Lamichhane took control of the match with a thrilling display, seizing seven wickets and powering Bagmati Province to a stunning 60-run victory over Karnali Province. Building on his initial impact, Lamichhane’s bowling electrified the PM Cup Men’s National Cricket Tournament, restricting Karnali to 120 runs in 25.1 overs as they desperately chased 181. His outstanding 7 for 40 now stands as the tournament’s fourth-best performance, sparking cheers from the crowd. **The Collapse** However, after a spirited start to their chase, Karnali couldn’t handle Lamichhane’s bowling. Nischal Rawal was the only one to put up a fight, scoring 31, while Dinesh Adhikari added 22 and Bipin Shahi made 15. The rest of the middle order fell quickly to the spin attack. As the innings progressed, Lamichhane wasted no time, striking early and maintaining relentless pressure, dismantling most of Karnali’s batting order. Though Rijan Dhakal, Pratish GC, and Subas Khatri took one wicket each, Lamichhane's sensational spell stole the spotlight. Claiming seven wickets, he joins a legendary group of PM Cup performers. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/UXg4zswHX2br4bcFc84U0LusPls2TAQkmwJ7rg0R.jpg) **Bagmati’s Gritty Total** Earlier in the day, Bagmati had a tough start after being sent in to bat. They lost wickets regularly, but Bibek Magar held the innings together with an important 56. Ishan Pandey added 27, and Pawan Thapa scored 22, helping the team reach 180 before being bowled out in the 39th over. Despite Karnali’s captain, Diwan Pun, bowling well, his good work was undone by his team’s batting collapse. In contrast, Bagmati’s bowlers were sharp and took control of the match.
