Brothers hold 10-man Muktis

Sports Reporter
Brothers Union came from behind to hold ten-man Muktijoddha Sangsad to a 1-1 draw in their Bangladesh Premier League encounter at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
Nigerian hitman Eleta Kingsley gave Muktijoddha Sangsad the lead in the stoppage time of the first half, only to be cancelled by a header from Brothers' Nigerian forward Kester Akon in the 74th minute.
With their second draw in seven matches, Muktijoddha Sangsad remained in their previous fourth position with 11 points but the second successive draw helped Brothers Union overtake Mohammedan to grab the fifth position in the ten-team table with eight points from seven outings.
Buoyed by two successive wins over Sheikh Russel KC and Chittagong Abahani, Muktijoddha Sangsad came into the match with the hope of joining Sheikh Jamal DC at the second position of the table and the freedom fighters' side were well ahead on the pitch until an unnecessary tackle from behind by Enamul Haque left Muktijoddha Sangsad with ten men for the last half an hour which gave Brothers the scope to fuind an equaliser.
"Enamul picked up both the bookings unnecessary and I did not expect it from such an experienced player," said Muktijoddha Sangsad coach Shafiqul Islam Manik, who termed Enanul's sending off as the turning point of the match.
"Yet there is a long way to go and anything can happen as the big teams also drop points. Muktijoddha Sangsad are fighting for their place in the top three and I hope we will be successful in the end," said Manik.
After surviving a close call earlier in the game, Brothers Union came close to taking a lead in the 24th minute when Victory Antoni put a long ball inside the box for Kester but the Nigerian striker saw his weak drive hardly trouble Muktijoddha Sangsad goalkeeper Rasel Mahmud Liton.
With clock tricking for the breather, Muktijoddha Sangsad went ahead when Eleta Kingsley, availing a short pass from Enamul, darted into the box, cut back to find space and drove a low left-footer which beat the Brothers goalie at his near post.
After resumption, Brothers tried to bite back and saw a header from Victory Antoni rattle the crosspiece in the 56th minute. Brothers established their total control after Enamul's marching order on the hour-mark and they came close to finding the equaliser in the 69th minute but goalkeeper Liton punched away a powerful shot from substitute Jewel Rana. However, the leveller came five minutes later when Kester headed in a chip from Yosuf from inside the box.
"It is a good sign that we have been coming from behind to earn points in two successive matches. To be honest, we uti-lised the man advantage over Muktijoddha," said Brothers Union coach Syed Nayeemuddin.
