Sk Jamal snatch a draw

Jamal Dhanmondi x Club came from
behind twice to split points with ten-man Brothers Union after playing out a 2-2 draw in their Grameenphone Bangladesh Premier League encounter at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
Senegalese hitman Habib Diouf put Brothers Union ahead before Nigerian Kester Akon tapped in to restore parity. Nigerian Kingsley Chigozie headed home to extend the lead of the All Orange outfit but substitute teenage striker Masud Rana again equalised the margin in stoppage time of the second half.
The second draw in the last match of their first leg campaign helped Sheikh Jamal to maintain third place in the 11-team points table with 11 points from 10 outings while Brothers Union are just behind the defending champions with 10 points from nine matches.
Both teams appeared to toil on the rain-soaked pitch but they presented a
good show in front of a few hundred spectators.
In the first half-an-hour of the game, both sides created a few good scoring chances but they failed to find their opponent net before Brothers deservedly took the lead.
Midfielder Jamal Hossain put a defense-splitting through ball to Diouf on the right side and the Senegalese striker, playing his second match, placed the ball inside the far post giving Sheikh Jamal goalkeeper Aminul Haq no chance in the 35th minute.
Jamal could have levelled the margin three minutes later but their Nigerian striker Kester, with goalkeeper Uttam Barua to beat, surprisingly shot wide. Then Uttam brilliantly thwarted an attempt from substitute Shohei Rana two minutes from the break.
After the resumption, Jamal stepped up the attack for an equaliser and this time they built up a good attack from the right wing where Shohei Rana played a low cross in front of the goal mouth and Kester tapped in to become
joint top-scorer with Muktijoddha Sangsad's Sunday Chizoba on six goals.
Brothers, who comparatively enjoyed superior ball possession throughout the game, went ahead again through a spot kick when goalkeeper Aminul, returning to the starting eleven after missing three matches due to illness of his mother, brought Kingsley down inside the area.
Referee Jasimuddin did not hesitate to award a penalty and Kingsley himself stepped up to take the spot kick. Although his initial effort was blocked by Aminul, he had enough presence of mind to head home the follow-up to take the lead in the 62nd minute.
Brothers were reduced to 10 men in the 70th minute when Jamal picked up a second yellow card by fouling the Brazilian Everton.
But despite having a man short, Brothers never gave up their attacking attitude and nearly struck their third in the 82nd minute but Aminul again came up trumps. With Brothers preparing to celebrate their big triumph and with one minute of added time left, Masud Rana, who had entered the fray just three minutes before, silenced Brothers Union with a placing shot to earn Sheikh Jamal a valuable point.
