Nepal will now vie against Laos in the Friday’s final.

Bhutan took the lead in the 19th minute through Tenzin Norbu header to put Nepal under pressure throughout the game.

But Dipak Raj Singh Thakuri scored in the 90th minute to salvage a draw for the hosts.

Bhutan have not defeated Nepal in their 13 meetings.

The home team had defeated Laos 2-0 in the inaugural match.
