Dhaka, October 9: Dhaka Abahani started their Grameenphone Federation Cup group C campaign with a 2-0 win over Jessore DFA at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on Tuesday. Midfielder Abdul Baten Majumder Komol put Abahani ahead in the 23rd minute with a left footed placing shot from the middle of the box, Komol took control of a long ball provided by Waly Faisal at the top of the box and made his way through the defence (1-0). Winger Atiqur Rahman Mishu scored the second in the 26th minute after Abdul Baten Majumder danced down the right flank and provided a cross to Mishu who tapped the ball in from the top of the six yard box (2-0) Jessore rarely threatened their fancied opponents and their lone attempt came in the 21st minute when skipper Monir Hossain volleyed straight to Abahani custodian Sohel. The second half was a barren affair with Abahani continuing a relaxed approach and Jessore busy about not conceding more goals.
