Kings make it 7 in 7

Bashundhara Kings extended their winning streak to seven BPL games, breezing to a 3-1 win over Sheikh Russel at the Bashundhara Kings Arena while newcomers Fortis FC played out a 1-1 draw against Bangladesh Police at the Shaheed Smriti Stadium in Rajshahi yesterday.

Kings consolidated their lead at the top of the table with 21 points -- six more than second-placed Abahani -- while Police FC and Fortis raised their tally to nine and seven points respectively.

Kings were held to a stalemate for 65 minutes before their star, Brazilian forward Robson De Silva, broke the deadlock from the spot before Asror Gafurov doubled the margin in the 73rd minute.

Sheikh Russel's Nigerian forward Sunday Udoh raised hopes with an 82nd-minute strike but Robson sealed the match with a stoppage-time strike from a free kick.
