Citycell B League
Russel finish third
Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra blanked Farashganj Sporting Club 2-0 to finish third in the Citycell B. League at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
Rajon Miah broke the deadlock after a drab first half with a spectacular volley and set up the second goal for veteran striker Alfaz Ahmed as Russel retained the third spot by improving their tally to 41 points.
The country's new powerhouse Russel finished the league three points behind runners-up Mohammedan and nine points adrift of Abahani, who retained the title in style by winning their last game against Rahmatganj 6-3 at the same venue on Monday.
Back in the day's match, it was a boring first half with both teams showing signs tiredness on the final day of a long and gruelling league that started on September 9 last year. The game however sprang to life when Rajon let loose a sublime volley off a Sameer Omari cross.
It took another five minutes for Rajon to provide a defence-slicing through pass to Alfaz who sealed the match with a scorching grounder. Standing at the wrong age of his luminous carrier, Alfaz with his 17th league goal this season showed that he might have lost some of his pace but his clinical finishing touches are as good as in his heydays.
This goal also put Alfaz tied in second place with Abahani's Emeka Christian in the leading scorer's list that Mohammedan's Alamu Bukola leads with 18 goals.
Farashganj finished sixth as the old city club remained at 26 points.
In the last game of the competition Brothers Union secured a 2-1 victory over Chittagong Mohammedan at the same venue.
Rony Islam put Brothers ahead in the 60th minute but Chittagong Mohammedan bounced back through a 71st minute strike from Guinea striker Rapheal Sagno.
Munna however confirmed the Gopibagh outfit's full points when he struck the match-winner in the 76th minute.
Brothers improved their tally to 37 points while Chittagong Mohammedan stayed at 30 points after playing 20 matches.
