Arambagh's big victory


Arambagh Krira Sangha registered an emphatic 4-2 victory over Chittagong Mohammedan in the B.League encounter at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.

With the outcome Arambagh not only avenged their 0-2 first-leg defeat against the port city side but also moved up to the sixth position in the table securing 26 points from 19 matches. Chittagong Mohammedan remained at 25 points from same number of outings.

The first-half was locked at 1-1 as Asif Yusuf put Mohammedan ahead in the 17th minute by capitalising on a Dipu cross from the left-flank and Ugandan Iddi Badambuze, aided by Domenic, levelled the margin for Arambagh with a fierce shot from the left side.

After the breather Nicodemus Gichana Anunda struck twice to ensure Arambagh's win as the Kenyan striker scored in the 51st minute with a left-footed angular shot from the left side of the D-box after dodging past opponent goalie Tito and then netted the fourth goal for his side in the 65th minute with a close range left footer.

Iddi however increased the Arambagh tally scoring his second goal with a spectacular flying header off a Domenic cross while Mohammad Asif narrowed the gap for Chittagong Mohammedan from penalty in the 67th minute.
