BU ride on Zahid

Sports Reporter
Zahid Hossain slammed two goals in the space of two minutes as Brothers Union went home happy with a 2-1 victory against giant-killers Rahmatganj in the last Citycell B. League
match before the Eid break at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
After a barren first half Zahid broke the deadlock in the 60th minute and converted a spot kick two minutes later. Nigerian Francis pulled back a consolation goal in the injury time.
The victory helped the Gopibagh outfit to leapfrog Chittagong Mohammedan in the points table as they improved their tally to 16 points from nine matches to snatch the number four position.

Rahmatganj came into the match with a shock 1-0 victory over popular Mohammedan but they failed to carry on their form against Brothers who defeated league leaders Abahani 2-0 in their previous encounter.
In the dull match, Brothers created the first opportunity in the 13th minute but Rahmatganj custodian Mohammad Ali punched away a powerful shot from veteran Matiur Munna.
But after four minutes it was defender Ariful who rescued the giants as Francis lobbed the ball over the advancing Brothers goalie Zia but Ariful cleared the danger.
Brothers dominated the proceedings but failed to create many opportunities before the lemon break.
Rahmatganj got the first chance to take the lead but Hanif Pradhan's shot from the top of the box was deflected from the crosspiece and it was Zahid who put Brothers ahead when he produced a low angular shot from the middle of the box after receiving the ball from Henry's throw to reach the near post.
In the 62nd minute Nigerian Chibuike Divine earned a spot kick for his side after defender Shipon was guilty. Zahid made no mistake to score his second goal in the match.
Liton could have made it 3-0 in the 82nd minute as Ali was beaten but Liton's shot from Henry's pass went wide.
Rahmatganj however managed a consolation goal in the injury time but goalkeeper Zia made the blunder for his side as he was off position to allow Francis to take the advantage to reduce the margin. The players will now enjoy a 12-day break to celebrate Eid-ul-Azha as the league will resume on December 18.
