Abahani clear Mukti bar

Sports Reporter
Abahani Krlra Chakra closed in on to lift the first ever National Football League title with a solitary goal win
over Muktijoddha Sangsad Krir.i C hakra in their opening final round clash at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.
The victory took the sky blues three points clear at the top the table. With two matches to go, the popular Dhanmondi outfits need only one more win to be crowned champions.
After a barren first half, national midfielder Zakir Hossain shot home the all-important goal midway through the second session.
The first round clash between the two heavyweights ended in a 2-2 draw’ In Khulna earlier this month.
Abahani. who reinforced their side bringing in Nigerian forward Stephen from Calcutta on Wednesday, ruled over the all-reds throughout the 90-minute play.
The upfront of Abahani turned fearsome with the presence of their foreign trio that also included Ghansha and Kennedy of Ghana. The Dhanmondi side earned half a dozen of corners in the first 45 minutes. But the tight defence wall of Muktijoddah managed to keep their goal-hungry opponents at bay.
Meanwhile. Brazilian forward Bereto, who was flown in from the Calcutta club Mohan-bagan Wednesday, missed his samba rhythm because of the total lack of co-ordination among his Muktijoddah mates upfront.
Abahani however gelled into a cohesive unit after the lemon break and eventually got the
reward through a well chalked-out attack in the 65th minute.
Zakir, an unimpressive customer throughout the day. suddenly got his act together to break the evening's duck. Collecting the ball from midfield, he penetrated through the middle of Muktijoddha defence by playing the passing-receiving game with Iqbal. Receiving the final pass from Iqbal. Zakir beat the Muktijoddha custodian Biplob with a powerful grounder that slammed onto the left comer of the net (1-0).
After taking the lead. Abahani kept up their tempo launching a series of offensives. But poor marksmanship denied them at least a couple of goals.
Muktijoddha however staged a turnaround late in second half and almost clinched an equaliser operating a sudden attack down the right flank In the 80th minute. But Beretos header on a Tito cross hit I he horizontal bar, much to the frustration of few thousand Muktijoddha supporters.
Abahani. who moved to the top of the four-team final round with 10 points from four matches, remained unconquered In the Inaugural National League. On the other hand. Muktijoddha. with their first defeat in four outings, joined the other two teams Mo-nammedan Sporting Club and Chittagong Abahani in the race. Each of the three teams have collected seven points so far.
Muktijoddha Sangsad will face Mohammedan Sporting Club tn their next match on Sunday.
