Reds return to form

SPORTS REPORTER
A matured performance helped Mukti-joddha Sang-sad shrug off a spirited and stubborn Youngmen's Club Fakirerpool with two late goals in the Premier
Football League yesterday.
Muktijoddha's 3-1 win at the Bangabandhu National Stadium also helped the Reds take sweet revenge for their shock 2-1 defeat to Youngmen's in the last match of the first-leg a week ago.
Feroze Mahmud Titu gave Muktijoddha a 39-minute lead but Youngmen's, who were the brighter of the two sides, equalised through a spectacular backheel by Masud Parvez on the hour.
Despite dominating the proceedings with a string of passes against their mighty opponents, the tired Youngmen's backline gave up
under constant pressure when Paul Nwakwuchu and Kanchan sealed the victory for Muktijoddha.
Muktijoddha -- third in the table -pushed their collection to 19 points after ten rounds while third-from-bottom Youngmen's remained on seven points.
Muktijoddha started without captain and country's number one custodian Aminul and his deputy was under fire in the very second minute.
Young left winger Rajan tested Titumeer with a long range effort and the goalkeeper, who lost the ball from his grip, pushed out Robin's shot on the rebound for a corner.
Nigerian striker Jeremiah, suspended for the game by the club management on disciplinary ground, was another noted absentee in the Reds line-up and his replacement Amin Rana hardly flourished up front beside Paul. There was good news for them as
national striker Moni, who missed the entire first leg following a knee surgery, made an appearance for the last 15 minutes.
After the strikers failed to make any impact, Titu put them ahead against run of play when the right fullback was picked by Rwandan defender Harry. Chasing the long ball, Titu raced past Youngmen's centre-back Ariful and went round the keeper before placing the ball into an empty net.
Youngmen's, the only team without any foreign player, could have levelled the score on the stroke of the breather but Robin failed to connect a superb right-side cross by Baten in the goalmouth under pressure from Riad.
The pressure told when Youngmen's won a freekick on the right of the rival box. Chanchal put the ballinto the box and Baten's volley was brilliantly saved by Titumeer

before the defenders half cleared the ball. But the danger was over yet and Ripon's first-time low drive out from the box was exquisitely deflected in by Masud with the back of his heel through a forest of legs.
Youngmen's were celebrating too early and Paul, dashing down the right with a crossfield pass from Pappu, made it 2-1 11 minutes later with a low drive that went in off the sidebar for his sixth goal.
Substitute Kanchan added another one in the dying moments when he fired the ball into the roof of the net after Youngmen's goalie Shiplu failed to hold on to a shot by Titu.
