The spirit of a friendly atmoa phere was truly reflected In the exhibition match lietween Moha

mmedan SC and visiting Ulsan University of South Korea as they were locked in a 1-1 draw al the floodlit Dhaka Stadium yesterday

Unlike their professional brothers who have taken South Korea to the 1994 World Cup finals, the defending inter university runner up team failed to impress the 20000 fans who gathered at the big bowl brav Ing the an inspiring hang over of disastrous performance of Bangladesh in the Sixth SAF Games

The defending local league champions Mohammedan SC enjoved the better of the'ex changes with their Insplra tional skipper Shabbir in full cry

The diminutive Mohammedan winger who was

left out from the Bangladesh team in the SAF Games which saw Bangladesh finish sixth among six teams, created the only goal for Mohammedans in the match.

Mohammedans took control of the match right from the word go in the eighty-minute showdown with Shabbir In complete control of the midfield The fleet-footed winger lofted a tricky croe* seven minute* into the match but Aslam who had the opponent custodian at hi* mercy *hot wide from clo*e

However, Ulsan University took the lead against the tide of the match when their winger Joo,Jong Sool headed home from a goalmouth melee. In the eleventh minute 1 -0.

Sayed Hasan Kanan, the out of form Mohammedan custodian who was partially respon sible for the goal had another disappointing day which might have marked his last appearance under the banner for a big club.

After conceding the goal Mohammedans kept the pres sure up and got the equaliser In the 28th minute when an airborne Aslam found the net with a spectacular header from a crisp Shabblr corner 1 -1.

ond minute after the breather but striker Nakib spoiled the chance shooting wide from an advantageous position.
