the league table of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Football when they
blanked lowly Brothers Union Club by 4-0 goals in a match at Bangabandhu

as he added two more goals today beside his name. He was well supported by
defender Yeasin Arafat and Nigerian forward Kenneth Ikechukwu who scored one
goal each to secure Saif SC’s seventh win in the league after leading the
first half by 2-0 goals.
