The second friendly match is slated for Saturday. Nepal and Pakistan had played a 1-1 draw during the SAFF championship in 2011. "Basically, the match being a friendly offered us to experiment on our boys´ potential," Nepal coach Stefanowski said after the team´s loss, before conceding,"We made some mistakes and paid price for it."
