Eleven minutes later, Muktis took the lead through another African recruit, this time Guinean forward Rafael Sagno. Muktijoddha were having it all their way now as former national forward Rokonuzzaman Kanchan increased the lead two minutes later. Beanibazar had a consolation goal in the injury time through Tawfique that only made the defeat look a little respectable.

This was a long league that started on the 25th of October last year and had couple of stoppages due to events like SA Games and AFC Challenge Cup.
