Sheikh Russel KC edge past Muktijoddha 1-0 in BPL

DHAKA, Feb 1, 2021 (BSS) – Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra earned their fourth victory in the Bangladesh Premier League Football beating Muktijoddha Sangsad Krira Chakra by a solitary goal held today at Bangabandhu National Stadium (BNS) here.

With the day’s win, Sheikh Russel KC moved up to the second position with 13 points, two points behind league leaders Bashundhara Kings, from five matches while Bangladesh Muktijoddha Sangsad Krira Chakra remained at their previous credit of three points playing four matches.

Both the teams got several scoring chances during the proceeding but failed to take the lead for lack of proper finishing.

At one stage it seemed that the match was going to end with a tame goalless draw but it was Muktijoddha’s defender Mohammad Shoeb Mia who made the blunder by scoring a suicidal goal in the 90+2nd minute changing the scenario of the match. After that it was not possible for Muktijoddha to stage a fight back and they had to leave the field with empty hands losing all the three points.

Muktijoddha Sangsad KC will play their next match against Abahani Limited Dhaka scheduled to be held on Friday (Feb.5) while Sheikh Russel KC meets Lieutenant Sheikh Jamal on Saturday (Feb.6). Both the matches will be played at the same venue.

Earlier, Sheikh Russel KC got off to a winning start in the league beating Brothers Union Club by 2-1 goals in their opening league match, defeated Rahmatganj Muslim and Friends Society by 1-0 goal in their second match, played to a 1-1 goal draw with Mohammedan Sporting Club Limited in the third match and edged past Chittagong Abahani Limited by 1-0 goal in the fourth match.

On the other hand, the freedom fighters lost their opening league match to Lieutenant Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club by 1-2 goals margin in their opening league match, beat Arambagh Krira Sangha by 1-0 goal in their second match and lost to Saif Sporting Club by 1-2 margin in their third match.

Tuesday’s match: Saif Sporting Club vs Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club at BNS at 4 pm.
