Russel shoot to the top

MSC-Brothers big battle today

SPORTS REPORTER
Premier League new boys Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra continued to impress in their first season in the big league when they registered a 2-0 victory over Dhaka Wanderers Club at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday.
The win, their second in three games that also including a remarkable goalless draw with holders Mohammedan Sporting Club, now placed them jointly atop in the 10-team table with Abahani Krira Chakra in the Western Union Premier Division Football League.
The Moroccan strike pair of Abdel and Rashidi scored for the winners in the space of four minutes in the first half.
The impressive victory of Skeikh Russel, who made an immediate impact by reaching the last four of the Federation Cup last month, has thrown the title race wide open.
With the lightweights trying to break the hold of the big three, Brothers Union will be aiming to convince others that they want to reestablish themselves in Dhaka football.
Fresh after their exciting 3-3 draw with fellow title-contenders Aba-hani, the big-spending Gopibagh outfit will now face the challenge of Mohammedan in what promises to be yet another high-voltage encounter at the same venue today. The big match will kick off at 5pm.
Both Brothers and Mohammedan are on five points going into the fourth league game.
Back to the battle of the babes Sheikh Russel called the shot with their foreign recruits very much in the thick of things.
Abdel Ali rattled the Wanderers net with a powerful angular shot from outside the box after receiving the ball from his Brazilian mate Fabio in the 23rd minute.
His compatriot Rashidi doubled the margin after four minutes capitalizing on a defensive error. He tapped the ball home after the Wanderers defence failed to clear an innocuous Arif floater.
It could have been a double delight for Rashidi six minutes later. But he fired the ball wide with Wanderers custodian Himu at his mercy.
Wanderers also had two chances to square the match. But Monir's 20th minute effort went inches wide and Russel keeper Apel then was called into action by fisted away a Ritu header at the stroke of the short whistle.
Yellow cards: Abdel (Sheikh Russel), Monir (Wanderers)

SHEIKH RUSSEL KC: Apel, Biplob (Apu), Narayan, Mintoo, Kamal, Burdeep, Asif (Nurul), Abdel, Jalal (Ashraful), Rashidi and Fabio.
