Following two consecutive defeats, Sonali Bank handed a 3-1 defeat to Bangladesh SC in their Green Delta Insurance Premier Division Hockey League encounter at the Maulana Bhasani Hockey Stadium yesterday.
With a seventh win in nine matches, Sonali Bank are at fourth position on the table with 21 points, just three points behind third-placed Abahani, while Mohammedan SC and holders Dhaka Mariner Young's Club are at first and second position with 30 and 27 points respectively.
Sonali Bank, who lost to the Mariners and Mohammedan SC in their two previous outings, went ahead in the 13th minute with a strike from Marzan Hossain before Bangladesh SC bounced back to level the margin in the 18th minute through Sajib Hossain.
Sonali Bank then had to toil hard to restore the lead until Irfanul Haque converted a penalty in the 61st minute while Pushpinder Singh wrapped up the victory by scoring three minute from time.
In the day's first match, Victoria SC came from behind to play out a 3-3 draw against Azad SC.
