The game was played in the Changlimithang Stadium, Thimphu, Bhutan on 30 June 2002, the same day as the 2002 FIFA World Cup final. Bhutan won the game 4–0, their first ever victory and the first time they had kept a clean sheet. The friendly match, officially sanctioned by FIFA, saw Bhutan rise out of the bottom two of the world rankings and kept Montserrat in last place. The referee was Englishman Steve Bennett.
