Abahani confirm quarters
Dhaka, 14 June 2016: Abahani Limited confirmed a quarter finals slot as
Runners-Up of Group A beating Soccer Club Feni 1-0 in the Walton Federation Cup
at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on Tuesday.
Arambagh already reached in to quarter final as a champion of Group A with four points.
Abahani’s English midfielder Lee Tuck scored one of the quickest goals
of the domestic football tournament when he struck with his left foot in the
very 45th second of the match. Nabib Newaz Jibon kicked the ball off to his
striking partner Sunday Chizoba who cut a neat cross to onrushing Lee Tuck at
the right flank, Lee Tuck swept past his marker and placed the ball into the
far post net with a curving left footer.
Sunday Chizoba wasted an easy chance for Abahani to double the score
line in the 19th minute when his placing of a back heel missed the
side post by a few inches.
Late in the first half Feni Soccer forward Akbar Hossain Ridon broke
free into the Abahani defence but shot straight to Abahani goalie Shahidul Alam
Sohel.
In the 81st minute Abahani’s midfielder Lee Tuck’s cracking
shot was punched to safety by Soccer goalie Sujan Chowdhury.
With this Abahani earned 3 points from 2 matches while Feni Soccer
remained with previous collection one point from 2 matches.
