Brothers Union Aram-bushed

SPORTS REPORTER
A cunning second half strike from Kenyan forward Kubaye
Dominic proved decisive as Arambagh Krira Sangha provided the biggest upset so far in the Premier Division Football League when they inflicted a 1-0 defeat on titlists Brothers Union at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
The result however opened a window of opportunity for the Gopibagh outfit's nearest rivals Mohammedan Sporting Club. While the Oranges remain on 12 points from five matches, the Black and Whites, who are just two points adrift, can leapfrog the leaders in the 10-team league when they face last year's sensational runners-up Sheikh Russel in a crucial match today at 5 pm.
Long regarded as giant-killers, Arambagh's latest scalp was the second heavyweight to tumble in the elite competition after Russel fell prey to promotees Farashganj Sporting Club in the second match.
Following an uneventful first 45 minutes, the tall Kenyan marksman Dominic delivered the knockout blow in the 57th minute to snap Brothers' four-game winning streak when he sprang the offside trap.
Receiving the ball from a rightflank long pass by Wahid Murad, Dominic raced into the danger zone while bemused Brothers defenders looked to the linesman claiming an unlikely offside and then placed the ball with his left foot past the advancing custodian Tareq.
Arambagh, who earlier held giants Abahani 1-1 to ensure their first points, deserved their first victory against superior opponents.
On the other hand, Brothers' laclustre performance disappointed
the majority of the one thousand spectators at the Big Bowl. The star-studded holders were virtually nonexistent in the first half allowing their opponents to take control.
Arambagh's first scoring chance came in the 32nd minute but striker Abu Murshed failed to properly connect from handshaking distance on a brilliant left-side cross from Dominic.
The winners started the second half at the same brilliant pace and man-of-the-match Dominic should have put the result beyond doubt within seconds of the re-start but his left-footer flew away hitting the cross piece.
Brothers tried to press hard to find an equaliser and twice midfielder Abul set up good chances for Russian striker Edwards but while his first a left-footer flew inches from the target in the 51st minute he was denied again by Arambagh custodian Shakil just 60 seconds later.
Yellow cards: Akram Hossain (Arambagh) and parvez Babu (Brothers).
