managed to break the deadlock in the 68th minute of the match when forward
Towhidul Alam Sobuj cracked a powerful right footer from a pass off Sohel Rana
in the opposition’s dugout. Mohammedan’s custodian Mamun khan managed to fist
the ball, but unmarked Sobuj again hit the back of the net with precise sliding right footer (1-0).
Both the teams were reduced to ten men in the 87th minute as Jahid Hossain of
Abahani and Faisal Mahmood of Mohammedans were sent off for a heated
conversation on the pitch.

second straight loss for the Mohammedans.
