THIMPHU, Bhutan (AP) -- The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan got three goals from its captain to beat Montserrat 4-0 on Sunday in a game for the title of world's worst team. ADVERTISEMENT
Wangyel Dorji recovered from an eye infection to become the hero in the matchup billed as ``The Other Final,'' hours before Brazil beat Germany 2-0 in the World Cup final in Yokohama, Japan.
The Bhutanese captain opened the scoring in the fourth minute on a header off a corner kick.
Watched by a crowd of 25,000 in Thimphu's Changlimithang Stadium that was built to accommodate just 10,000 spectators, Bhutan withstood pressure from Montserrat's strikers in the second half.
Dorji scored on a curling free kick to increase Bhutan's lead in the 67th minute. Midfielder Dinesh Chetri scored Bhutan's third goal in the 76th minute before Dorji finished the scoring two minutes later.
Bhutan, one of the most unspoiled Himalayan areas, is sandwiched between China and India. It came out of isolation in 2000 to become the youngest member of FIFA, world soccer's governing body.
FIFA ranked the team No. 202, just ahead of last-place Montserrat.
The game was conceived by a Dutch communications firm, KesselsKramer, which is being supported by Robot, a Tokyo production company.
