It was the Reds' first win in the competition after suffering five defeats in their last six outings.

Muktijoddha remain in last position with four points while Rahmatganj remained in fourth place despite the loss, with ten points.
Abahani lead the table with 15 points from six matches while Sheikh Russel are in second place with 14 points from seven outings.
