Tangail Book a Place in the Finals 2007-05-26 14:24:00 Tangail won against Noakhali 2-1, to book their place in the final of the Western Union National Youth Football Championship 2007. From the very start, Tangail pressured Noakhali, creating three one on one chances with Didarul, the Noakhali keeper, inside the first 40 minutes. However, they failed to convert these chances and the first half ended goalless. In the second half, Ripon headed in a Liton corner for Tangail, but the referee ruled out the goal for a foul on Didarul. Noakhali then scored themselves, with Shahidul scoring from 35 yards, after 66 minutes. Noakhali seemed to be on the verge of victory, until defender Alauddin handled the ball in the area, gifting Tangail a penalty and a lifeline, 4 minutes from the end of play. Awal converted the penalty to level the match. The match finished 1-1 after 90 minutes and the teams headed into extra time.Tangail were once again awarded a penalty when Afsar fouled Liton from behind, but Rafiqul missed it.

League due to a knee injury that aggravated during training."As I feel that most of the league would be finished before I get fully fit, I chose not to play and give my team the chance to register an extra goalie," Aminul told last night."I was cured after the surgery in Mumbai but I feel that I stressed too much during the pre-season training in a bid to speed up my recovery and aggravated the injury."Now I am preparing myself for the next season," said Aminul, who also suffered long injuries in the past but always returned with sharpened skill that makes him the most wanted shot-stopper in the country.Muktijoddha registered young Nur Alam as their second reserve keeper after now first-choice Titumir, who has been standing under the bar since the Read more:Season

Russel Halt MSC Run 2007-06-04 12:23:00 Mohammedan gave up a solo lead but the Dhaka giants still share the B. League top spot with Muktijoddha, after 11 rounds, following a goalless draw against Sheikh Russel
yesterday.Mohammedan and Russel shared points after a 1-1 draw in the first leg and the result of both sides' second-leg opener at the Bangabandhu National Stadium put an end to the black and whites' six-match winning streak.Mohammedan, on 21 points, had a frustrating afternoon although conditions were soothing after last week's extremely sultry weather.They hardly looked the dangerous team of the two and Russel, who are one point below the joint leaders, should consider them unfortunate not to return with maximum points.While Shafiqul Islam Manik reasonably had faith on the eleven that pulled them to pole position from relegation zone, Russel gave debut to Moroccan newcomer Rida Saadane, who excelled in the holding midfielder's role. Pairing with the more attacking minded Igir, he gave Wajed Gazi's side edge in t

Union's bid to return to the title race suffered another blow when they failed to beat Farashganj for the second time in the competition after a goalless draw in the first leg.Nigerian striker Elijah Junior converted a 13-minute penalty after to give the Oranges lead after Farashganj centre-back and captain Faisal tripped Shakil inside the area.Syed Nayeemuddin's side, however, failed to hold on to the early advantage as the riversiders levelled on the stroke of the half hour with debutant African striker Opara Luxson Puma scoring with a placing shot after a combined attack. Puma came close to score against seconds before half time but Nizam made a fine save at the Brothers goal.Brothers had to remain satisfied with 16 points from 11 outings as a spectacular header by Junior, the second highest scorer with eight

Rahamatganj Stun Russel 2007-06-09 09:44:00 Rahamatganj MFS dented Sheikh Russel
's championship campaign when the bottom-table side pulled off a surprising 1-0 win in yesterday's B. League match.Ashraful Awal Apu separated the two sides at the Bangabandhu National Stadium with a sublime shot in the 25th minute as Rahamatganj recorded their only second win in the competition.Having spent the entire first leg without a win, it was the revitalised old-Dhaka outfit's second consecutive win in the second leg that increased their collection to eight points, still two points behind Chittagong Abahani.For Russel, who suffered their second overall loss to spoil a great chance to take solo lead and remained on 20 points, it was the third match in a row without a win.However, Russel looked the dangerous side of the two as they took early control. But striker Younes and his partner Bulbul fluffed three easy chances inside the first ten minutes.Still, they should have gone ahead after 17 minutes when Igir picked up his fellow Moroccan You
An Eventful Draw 2007-06-08 10:52:00 Ten-man Mohammedan were held by Muktijoddha to a 1-1 draw in yesterday's action-packed B. League match at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.Even playing with one man down for the last 15 minutes following Nigerian striker Emeka's send-off decision, the black and whites dominated the show and should consider themselves unfortunate not to leave the ground with maximum points.The Dhaka derby, which began after a drizzle, was contrasting to the drab first leg match that Muktijoddha won 1-0. And they looked like heading for a similar course when Moroccan midfielder Brahim put the Reds ahead after 13 minutes against run of play.Mohammedan secured one valuable point when Nigerian midfielder Divine slotted a late equaliser from a rebound on Emeka's freekick.After 12 matches, both Mohammedan and Muktijoddha came level with Abahani on 22 points but the latter have a match in hand.On a slippery pitch, defensive error almost cost Muktijoddha the lead in the fifth minute when Enamul found open sp Read more:Eventful
Farashganj SC 1-0 Arambagh KC 2007-06-16 16:51:00 Farashganj took revenge of their first leg loss to Arambagh when the riversiders recorded a solitary goal victory in yesterday's B. League match at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.The league resumed after a four-day break due to seasonal rain and Farashganj, who suffered a 2-0 defeat in their earlier meeting, settled for a scoreless first half.Mohammed Robin separated the two sides with a 79th minute strike - the young striker's sixth league goal - to also help Farashganj topple Arambagh in the table with their fourth overall win in 13 games.Arambagh, who have also played 13 matches, stuck to 16 points and slipped to eighth place following their third consecutive defeat in the second leg and overall seventh loss.
B. League Resumes Today 2007-06-15 04:39:00 The B.League

A second win in the season against the riversiders, however, will bring Arambagh to fourth place.All eyes, meanwhile, would be on tomorrow's much talked about clash between Abahani and Mohammedan, the two local giants gearing up for the pole position. Sharing the lead along with Muktijoddha on 22 points, the two archrivals are separated by goal difference with Mohammedan having an edge. The sky-blues, however, have played a match less and will be boosted by their 1-0 first leg win.It was bad news though for Shafiqul Islam Manik's boys, who re Read more:Today
Tasty Derby Drawn 2007-06-17 15:01:00 Abahani and Mohammedan did a favour to football when they brought back excitement to the ground after a long time.The two perennial foes shared points in a goalless draw in the crucial B. League match yesterday and although the result may have hampered their championship race, the dying game witnessed the high voltage drama that was the trademark of any clash between the two heavyweights.It was not the usual electric atmosphere of a houseful Bangabandhu National Stadium but before the season's highest attendance - a 20,000-strong crowd - the Dhaka derby came alive and both sides had a goal disallowed in the second half, leading to arguments all around the venue."It was an entertaining game and I think one side should have won for the crowd. I am sure they have enjoyed a tense Abahani-Mohammedan match after a long period," told Mohammedan coach Shafiqul Islam Manik, whose side shared the lead with Abahani on 23 points.Although Abahani have played one match less to Mohammedan's 13, Man Read more:Tasty

Union snatch one point from Sheikh Russel in yesterday's Dhaka derby but the 1-1 draw at the Bangabandhu National Stadium dented both sides' title hopes in the B. League.Just when Sheikh Russel looked like holding on to Touati Younes's first half goal and seal three points, the Oranges were awarded a penalty by referee Mansoor Azad after substitute defender Pradip Barua tripped Junior inside the box.The Nigerian made no mistake to hammer the ball into the back of the net from the spot for his 14th goal, which placed him atop the scorers' list, just above Mohammedan's 13-goal Paul.Despite the draw, Russel moved to the top with 26 points after 15 games but remained under the threat of being removed by at least two teams - Abahani and Muktijoddha - by the end of this week.Syed Nayeemuddin's side on the other hand, wasted a golden comeback chance as they improved their collection to 23 points a
