Mizan steals the show

Sports Reporter
Striker M izan once again played
saviour with a Stith minute strike that gave Muktiioddha Sangsad a lone glial win over holders Abahanl Kara Chakra in one of the two Mrina DM FA Cup football tournament engagements at the Dhaka Stadium yesterday.
But the outcome of the day's second match, merely reflected the course of action with Muktijoddha at the re reiving end for most of the proceedings against a spirited display by the sky blues.
It was only in the last part of the second half when the star-studded Muktijoddha. who were needing at least a draw to earn a berth in the last four, played purposely with Rumi Rizvi Karim operating from the middle.
The former national midfielder. who came on as a substitute for an out of form Babu Das after the breather, pro-vlded a perfect through pass to Mizan. who after receiving the ball from apparently off-side position, sprinted through the right flank before unleasing a fierce right-footer from the edge of the box that zoomed past a diving Abahanl custodian Saidul at the near post.
Mizan. the deceptive national striker, who had earlier stored the all-important goal In Muktijoddha's. 1-0 win over Victoria Sporting Club on Friday, then set his side for yet another goal in the 87th minute when, Abahani's defender Monem Munna brought him down in the forbidden zone.
But Rakib. one of the eight national hooters in Mitktijoddha's ranks, sent the 12-yarder wide off the mark much to the horror of his teammates.
For Abahanl. although the defeat came as a shock, they still finished atop from Group A by virtue of a better goal difference.
The win now leaves Muktijoddha at par with Abahanl. both collecting six points from their three group league matches, but they have io be satisfied with the second position.
Both the teams will now have to wait for the outcome of today's match between Mohammedan Sporpng Club and Brothers Union to know their semifinal pairings
Abahanl could have led the first half by at least three goals.
The Dhanmondi outfit, playing with young and spirted hooters, took the control of the match from the start and could have led the first half by at least three goals.
Sergei, who celebrated his Dhaka football debut scoring the only goal In Abahani's 1-0 win over Victoria Sporting Club on May 3. drew first blood
In (he I 1th minute with a spectacular volley from well outside the box.
But Pannu, the Muktijoddha custodian and the reserve national goalkeeper, was equal to the task diving to his left
Pannu then made two more brilliant saves keeping the freedom fighters afloat. He
