A double from Chencho Gyeltshen saw the side ranked 209th in the Fifa world rankings book a place in the first group qualifying phase
Bhutan's dream start to World Cup 2018 qualification continued as Chencho Gyeltshen's double booked the world's lowest-ranked side a place in the second-round with a 3-1 aggregate victory over Sri Lanka.
Bhutan played their first qualifier last week in Colombo and returned home with a 1-0 lead thanks to Tshering Dorji's late goal.
And a 2-1 win in Thimphu's Changlimithang National Stadium ensured progression to the second qualifying stage, where they will be grouped among the continent's big hitters.
Gyeltshen opened the scoring after just five minutes then calmly knocked in the winner in the dying seconds, sealing Bhutan's progression as he was hounded by his team-mates.
The tiny nation, ranked 209th in Fifa's ranking, have secured a place in the group stage involving 40 Asian teams.
Timor-Leste also move to the second round of qualifying for the first time, while India knocked out Nepal.
