BU move into semis

Sports Reporter
Brothers Union moved into the semifinals of the M o d h u m o t i Bank Independence Cup football tournament with a 2-1 win over Team BJMC in the first
quarterfinal at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
Jewel Rana and Nigerian striker Simon struck one goal each for the Gopibagh-based outfit before Nigerian Uche Felix pulled one goal back for BJMC, who got off to a fine start after creating two chances within first five minutes but failed to keep up the momentum.
BJMC, semifinalists of Federation Cup, could have went ahead in the very first minute had Aminur Rahman Sajib, unmarked, not failed to head a lovely lob from Khan Mohammad Tara. Sajib also saw his low shot outside the box go narrowly wide of the post in the fourth minute.
Brothers took the lead against the run of play when a Rubel Mia chip over goalkeeper Ariful Islam came off the crossbar and it fell to
Jewel Rana, who headed the follow-up home in the ninth minute to put Brothers ahead.
BJMC also found a nice chance to level the margin but Nigerian Samson Iliasu failed to beat Brothers goalkeeper Sabuj Das Raghu despite getting him unguarded at the 12th minute while the all orange outfit came close to double the lead. But a Faisal Mahmud placing shot outside the box from the left went inches over the crossbar five minutes from the break.
After resumption, Brothers Union doubled the lead in the 55th minute when Simon let loose a powerful shot from 25 yards to beat goalkeeper Ariful to make it 2-0 before Felix reduced the margin 2-1 with a header off a Khan Mohammad Tara freekick on 61 minutes.
The margin could have been winded for Brothers Union had Simon not squandered two more chances in the latter part of the game with the goalkeeper to beat in both occasion.
"The boys really played well and deserved the win," said Brothers coach Syed Nayeemuddin adding that the fighting attitude and not giving up on the match were the keys behind the victory.
BJMC coach Ali Ashgar Nasir believed the lack of practice caused them to suffer defeat.
"Actually we could not perform the way we play because we lacked practice as four to five players of the starting eleven could not take part in the training due to minor injuries and managerial problems," said Nasir.
"We dominated over them but we conceded both goals due to fumbles of defenders."
Brothers Union will play the semifinal against the winners between Sheikh Russel
