Earlier in the day at the same venue, Saif Sporting Club clinched a comprehensive 3-0 win against Lt. Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club Limited to keep their title hope alive. Dhaka saw heavy downpour in the afternoon and the amount of rain was so heavy that the field became completely unsuitable for staging a football match. “The field became unsuitable for rain so we abandoned the game. In the other match of the day, both the teams started with positive intent and in the seventh minute Sheikh Jamal’s Colombian recruit Deiner Córdoba’s header off a Jamal Bhuiyan free-kick rebounded off the post. But local striker Jafar Iqbal broke the deadlock as he executed a perfect placing shot in the 40th minute off a Jamal pass.
