Muktijoddha’s lead was extended in the 26th minute with defender Monjurur Rahman Manik cutting a long ball to onrushing forward Javed Khan in the left flank, Russell defender Nahidul Islam failed to intercept the ball saw his effort went in vain, Javed succeeded to drill the ball into the far post net (2-0)

In the 57th minute of the match Muktijoddha’s Nigerian forward Ahamed Kolo Musa sneaked the past the Russel defence carrying a through pass of midfielder Sohel Rana but much to the dismay saw his right footer kiss the crosspiece and land outside.
