Baridhara hold BJMC
Uttar Baridhara survived a wave of attacks to hold Team BJMC to a goalless draw in their JB Bangladesh Premier League encounter at Sheikh Fazlul Haque Moni Stadium in Gopalganj yesterday.
Uttar Baridhara, who lost to BJMC 2-1 in their first match, leapfrogged to the 11th position from the bottom with a second draw. That helped them raise their points tally to 14 from 18 matches, while BJMC remain glued to ninth with 18 points from as many matches.
Apart from a couple of initiatives in the early moments of the game, Uttar Baridhara were kept on their toes throughout the games against BJMC, who were unlucky for failing to secure all three points despite dominating the match.
Although Uttar Baridara came close to taking the lead in the fourth minute, Brazilian striker Lima shot straight to goalkeeper Arifuzzaman Himel and since then it was a one-sided show with BJMC creating the lion's share of chances.
However, Uttar Baridhara goalkeeper Razib stool tall and foiled BJMC repeatedly, especially in the latter stages of the game. Razib stopped Nigerian forward Eleta Kingsley twice from close range and Pashban Mollah, who rattled the crossbar, was also denied twice.
