Sports Desk: Abahani could not return with full points at the Kings’ ground in the Premier Football League. They drew 0-0 against Fortis FC. Abahani was on a winning streak after defeating Kings and Police. It is difficult for Abahani to win a match without foreign footballers, but Abahani has played well so far. They got valuable 3 points by defeating a strong team like Kings with local footballers.
If they could have defeated Fortis yesterday, they could have been in a good position in the points table. But that became difficult. Abahani and Rahmatganj have 12 points each. If Rahmatganj wins against Wanderers today, Rahmatganj will remain in second place, while Abahani will move away.
Brothers Union returned from Munshiganj with a win. Despite coming close to winning against Bashundhara Kings in the previous match, they did not survive. They had to return upset with a 1-1 draw. Brothers won 3-0 against Fakirerpool Youngmen’s Club yesterday.
Gambian footballer Mustafa, Senegalese footballer Shik Sene, and Sajjad Hossain scored the third goal of the match. The 3-0 scoreline in the first half did not get bigger. Brothers won the third win of the league. Brothers, who were relegated last season, are in fourth place with 10 points from 3 wins and 1 draw.
The current champion, Bashundhara Kings, won the league’s biggest win out of the three matches yesterday. They defeated Police by 5-0 goals. Despite 5 goals in the match, there was no hat trick. Brazilian Jonathan scored a pair of goals. Mujibur Rahman Johnny, who scored against Brothers, also scored a goal. Rakib Hossain and Brazilian captain Miguel scored goals in turn for Police. In the end, however, they played with 10 men when Police’s Paraguayan defender received a red card. That’s when he scored the fifth goal.
