MSC edge past Arambagh
Dhaka, June 27: Dhaka Mohammedan Sporting Club Ltd beat Arambagh KS 1-0 in the Grameenphone Bangladesh Premier League at the Bangabandhu National stadium on Wednesday.
Arambagh goalie Mustafizur Rahman Shawon punched a back head of Wahed for a corner saving his team from conceding an early goal in the 16th minute.
But Arambagh wasted two easy chances in the 46th and 64th and on both occasions their Nigerian forward Eleta Kingsley was the player. His placing shot beat onrushing Mohammedan goalie Titumir at the top of the box but missed the side post. Eleta failed to head a Jahidul Hasan Dalim cross in the second occasion.
However substitute forward Md. Rony broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute as his back volley on an Augustine Chiozoba cross landed in the left hand post (1-0).
Mohammedan raised their tally to 31 points from 19 matches while Arambagh remained on their previous collection of 16 points from 19 matches.
