Abahani KO Russel

Sports Reporter
Zahid Hasan Emily struck the fastest goal in the Citycell Federation Cup to inspire Abahani's 2-0 win over Sheikh Russel in the quarterfinal yesterday.
Emily scored his fourth goal in the tournament on 50 seconds --the quickest goal of the ongoing competition as well as the decade -- while Arif Khan Joy sealed the victory ten minutes from time for the sky-blues who will take on Farashganj in the first semifinal tomorrow.
Heavy showers just an hour before the kick-off not only delayed the start at the Bangabandhu National Stadium but also made the pitch impossible for good football that was expected of the two local giants.
Abahani. playing in their second
choice golden strip, however, took control immediately after the start.
Russel's Moroccan centre-back Bourdif Mohamed's weak clearance at the right side of their area could not travel much on the rain soaked pitch and Ibrahim got hold of the ball. The Ghanaian forward, still under tight marking, chipped the ball inside the box for his striking partner Emily whose glancing header from eight yards gave Russel keeperTitu no chance.
Veteran striker Alfaz then forced a fine save by Abahani's stand-in captain Biplab from 20 yards in the sixth minute.
The match was halted for power failure for six minutes and Abahani looked happy with the early advantage and Pranotosh's header on a centre by Abul, which went just wide, was the only notable effort in the rest of the half by Amalesh Sen's men.
Abul played his part at either flanks and kept feeding the strikers regularly. Emily, who came close to score again in the 51 st minute with a through by the midfielder, was dispossessed by the advancing
goalkeeper, who kept Russel in the game when he superbly palmed away a powerful low freekick by Abul which deflected off the wall.
It was then Russel's turn to rush at the rival goal with Moroccan strikerYounessand midfielder Said doing the spadework with help of substitute Mobarak.
But the tight Abahani backline, magnificently marshalled by Sujan and his Ghanaian partner Yussif in absence of suspended skipper Nazrul, hardly allowed them any clear shooting opportunities.
Russel chose the aerial route but Biplab was brilliant throughout the game, intercepting almost every cross that flew in.
The national number two goalkeeper made a one-handed save on Said's overhead shot in the 73rd minute and five minutes later, kept out the Moroccan's left-footed effort out of his goal.
Abahani hit on the break with Ibrahim and Emily exchanging passes but the latter's shot went out off leftback Parvez Babu's shoulder. The resulting corner produced Abahani's second goal as the ball ran across to the left where Abul got the chance to cut it back to former captain Joy who was raring to go at thecomcrof the penalty area.
The holding midfielder, who scored twice in Abahani's 4-1 win against Chittagong Abahani in the group stage, fired a low drive on the trot into the far corner to dash Russel's comeback hopes.
