Russel's escape act

Sports Reporter
Sheikh Russel survived a late scare to hand a 1-0 defeat on Rahmatganj MFS in their Bangladesh League encounter at the Birshreshtha Shaheed Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Kamalapur yesterday.
Ghanaian defender Abass headed a Mobarak Hossain corner home in the 75th minute to raise Sheikh Russel's points tally to 13 from five outings, two points less than joint leaders Abahani and Mohammedan, who maintained their hundred per cent winning streak to earn maximum 15 points, playing five matches each.
On the other hand it was the third defeat in four games for Rahmatganj, who had held Brothers Union to a goalless draw in their previous match.
Play got off to a slow start on the uneven Kamalapur pitch where the players faced tough challenge to control the ball and both sides fought equally with no one establishing their
dominance in the midfield.
However, it was Sheikh Russel, who could have gone ahead in the 13th minute had Ugandan defender Ddumba Michael not made a goalline safe after Sheikh Russel's Moroccan striker, set up by Abdullah Parvez, drove the ball to the far post with goalkeeper Arifuzzaman Himel already beaten.
One minute from the breather, Sheikh Russel once again came close to taking a lead when striker Mohammad Rony and winger Mobarak Hossain played a fine one-two to enter the danger zone from the right, but Rony saw his close-range shot blocked by keeper Himel.
Rony and Mobarak kept on creating chances from the right flank with good understanding between them and Mobarak picking up a through pass from Rony darted in the box to cut it for Abdullah Parvez, whose left-footer from inside the box was again blocked by Michael to rescue the Old Dhaka outfit in the 70th minute and it seemed that the game was heading for a draw before the new powerhouse, Sheikh FROM PAGE 17
Russel, broke the deadlock in the 75th minute with a powerful header from defender Abass, who got his first goal in the professional football league.
After going down, Rahmatganj brought striker Pushban Mollah in place of Guinean Raphael Sango and the tiny striker penetrated the Sheikh Russel defence with his crisp movements and Rahmatganj nearly pulled off the equaliser in the 79th minute when Anisur Alam rattled tlie crossbar of Sheikh Russel.
In the next minute, Pushban whipped a lob for Alam, who got the ball free inside lire danger zone, but the midfielder disappointed all to drive straight to goalkeeper Mamun in one-on-one situation.
Seven minutes from lime, Rahmatganj once again came close to equalising the margin, but it was goalkeeper Mamun Miah, who amazingly tipped a
35 yarder from Nigerian striker Onyeokoro Felix over the crossbar for a corner. Afterwards, Rahmatganj failed to make any split in the Sheikh Russel backline and had to be content with third loss in four games.
