Big win for Northern

Northern University bounced back in the Mentors' Inter-private university football tournament yesterday with a huge 6-1 win against Independent University of Bangladesh but contenders North South University (NSU) were held to a draw in their second match.
Northern, who lost 4-0 to NSU in the opener, conceded a third minute goal when Nure Alam put Independent ahead at the Army Stadium. But a hattrick by man-of-the-match Rubel and one goal apiece from Johnny, Aniruddha and Habibul ensured Northern's first victory.
NSU came form behind to draw 1-1 with Dhaka International University, who took the lead after 24 minutes through Rabi, also adjudged man of the match. However, Imtiaz scored the equaliser for NSU eight minutes later.
