BJMC DRAW WITH BROTHERS
In the days other event, Brothers Union came from behind and managed a 1-1 draw against Team BJMC.
A second half stoppage time strike by Nigerian Nkwocha Kingsley canceled out the 14th-minute strike from Mokhlesur Rahman to help Brothers Union secure a valuable point.
Both Brothers Union and Team BJMC came into the match on the back of 1-1 draws against Feni Soccer Club and Muktijoddha Sangsad respectively.
BJMC dominated the the first half of the game however, the second half belonged to the charges of Nepalese Balgopal Maharjan.
BJMC looked to be the more confident side and were energetic from the outset, creating two goal scoring chances before ultimately taking the lead in the 14th minute courtesy of a horrible fumble by Brothers goalkeeper Uttam Barua.
At first Samson Iliasu played a nice forward pass for Mehdi Hasan Tapu who was then one-on-one with Uttam but the former Brothers striker struck straight to the advancing goalkeeper in the 10th minute before striker Sohel Rana drove it narrowly wide inside the box three minutes later.
Next minute, Mokhlesur made no mistake as he tapped one into the open net after Uttam failed to receive a backpass from defender Nazimuddin Mithu.
Brothers then pressed hard for the equalizer with Kingsley rattling the crossbar from the edge of the box on the half-hour mark. Later, young hitman Mannaf Rabbi was assisted by Augustine Walson and then with only the keeper to beat, the lad from Jessore scrapped the easy opportunity to level the margin by taking too much time on the shot.
Balgopal then changed up the right flank by sending in Mohammad Rony and so the winger finally turned into the provider. Rony whipped in a nice low cross for Walson who just needed to tap it into the back of the net, but the Haitian failed to collect it before Kingsley nodded another Rony cross home in the final minute of the four-minute added time of the second half.
