'Friendly' Farashganj for Brothers

BU-4, Farashganj-2

SPORTS REPORTER
Brothers Union opened up a three-point lead in the Premier-
ship table with four rounds remaining when the defending champions recorded a comfortable 4-2 win over a 'friendly' Farashganj Sporting Club yesterday.
The men in orange, who now have 35 points after 14 rounds, however, did not work hard for their 11th win.
Farashganj missed six regular players -- goalkeeper Zia, full-backs Arup and Khaled, midfielders Kabir and Nigerian Adafa and skipper Walid -- in the starting line-up and the mid-table side never tried to push their rivals after the match was level at 2-2 early in the second half.
The Oranges, on the other hand, fielded Nigerian forward Puma for the first time in the season ahead of prolific Russian striker Victor.
Brothers, who needed a late penalty to win their first-leg meeting by a solitary goal, went ahead only after eight minutes. Parvez Babu seized the ball from a quickly taken corner by Liton before racing past two defenders and then fired an angled drive into the far corner from the first move of the game.
Young winger Rony then levelled scores ten minutes later when he outpaced the slow defensive trio of Brothers to kick a through by Pavel past the onrushing keeper Tarek.
Liton, who was denied by woodwork earlier, made sure Brothers went into the half-time break 2-1 ahead with his eighth league goal in the 36th minute. Joint top-scorer with Mohammedan's Manju, Liton tapped the ball into an empty net after Emily played a square pass to him on a rebound from goalkeeper Piru who lost a cross by Hicham Inani.
Farashganj, on 18 points, hit back two minutes into the second half when Nigerian forward Felix headed home a left-flank centre by Palash. But instead of trying to up the tempo, the old-Dhaka outfit made three changes including relieving Felix of his duties, which definitely weakened their strength.
And Brothers sealed victory with
two goals inside five minutes.
Tapu, who replaced Pranotosh, set up the third goal on the hour with his first touch on the ball. Dashing down the left wing, Tapu picked Monwar with a fine crossfield chip toward the far post and the national midfielder, who came on the pitch just five minutes earlier, nodded the ball in effortlessly.
Emily then made it 4-2 five minutes later with a low drive outside from the box, his fifth goal in the championship, which went into the right hand post of Piru who made an unconvincing effort to stop the weak shot.
Surprisingly, this was the same result that had been predicted before the start of the game.
Yellow card: Scylla (Farashganj)
