Brothers rue mistakes

Sports Reporter
Despite two spirited displays, Brothers Union will have to play the third-fourth place play off in the Citycell Super Cup.
Their 0-0 draw with Abahani in the second leg semifinal after a 3-2 loss in the first match settled the issue yesterday and captain Amit Khan Shuvra admitted it was hard to believe.
"It is very painful to go down after playing well. We played positive and fought hard but it was bad luck. We are united for the cause of football's revival and hope to get better result in future," said the Brothers defender.
Zahid, who fluffed a penalty, said it was just a miss.
"I was confident after twice scoring from the spot in the B. league but it was just not my day," the speedy winger said.
"Missing the penalty was part of the game. After so many misses, you can't get result," rued coach Wasim Iqbal.
"Abahani are a very good team but we are happy because we fought them well," told the former national winger, who played for both

Abahani’s stand-in captain Biplab Bhattachariya was in superb form, especially after his poor show during the previous match.
"We tried to play all out but in the second half, it was difficult to go attacking under tremendous pressure. Now we are in the final and we will go for the championship. which is more important to us than the money," he said about the Tk one-crore prize money for the winners.
"We had a good first half when we created chances but missed. Brothers were really spirited after the second half when we had to
defend," told Amalesh Sen.
Manager Satyajit das Rupu confessed that they missed Ibrahim.
"We have a strong bench but there can’t be any replacement for your best player. Still, I never thought that we were losing because our lead was always safe," Rupu stated.
"We told Biplab to shrug off his shakiness from the last match and he just did that. He was great and hope he will be at his best in the final.
"We will miss Joy and Pranotosh (in the final) but our reserve bench has adequate players to make up for their absence and we hope to overcomethat."
