Rahmatganj get biggest BPL win
Rahmantganj notched their biggest victory in the professional football league with a massive 7-1 win over Muktijoddha Sangsad in a crucial Bangladesh Premier League encounter at the Birshreshtha Flight Lt Matiur Rahman Stadium in Munshiganj yesterday.
The triumph saw Rahmatganj leap out of the relegation zone and into ninth place in the 12-team table, with 14 points from 18 matches. Muktijoddha Sangsad, meanwhile, slipped to 11th place with 11 points from 18 matches.
Interestingly, Rahmatganj's previous biggest win also came against Muktijoddha Sangsad in the 2009/10 season, when they won 5-1. That four-goal margin was also replicated by Rahmatganj against Brothers Union in a 4-0 win in the 2012/13 season.
However, Rahmatganj still face the threat of relegation despite being ahead of Uttar Baridhara, Muktijoddha Sangsad and Swadhinata KS. Two of the teams will go down and Rahmatganj still have clashes against Mohammedan, Sheikh Russel, Swadhinata KS and Bangladesh Police.
In yesterday's match, Rahmatganj endured a tough test but went into half-time with a 2-1 lead. The second-half was simply one-way, as they added five more goals.
Nigeria's Sunday Chizoba and Ghana's Philp Adjah struck two goals each while Al Amin, Ashraful Islam and Toure Lancine netted one goal apiece. Obaidur Rahman Nawbab scored the consolation for Muktijoddha Sangsad.
In the day's other match, Afghan forward Amiruddin Sharifi struck a goal to give Bangladesh Police a 1-0 win over Swadhinata KS at the Muktijoddha Smriti Stadium in Rajshahi.
