Former champion Sheikh Russel finished as Group C champion with two consecutive wins and are scheduled to play Chittagong Abahani in the third quarter-final Saturday. Abahani and Group A winner Arambagh will face each other in the first quarter-final Thursday. Sheikh Russel went close to scoring in the third minute when Brazilian forward Alex Rafael Antonio’s close-range effort flew over the bar. Uzbek forward Azizov Alisher put Sheikh Russel ahead at the half-hour mark with a clever header from a cross by midfielder Mezbah Uddin that bounced into the far post giving Abahani goalkeeper Shahidul Alam Sohel no chance.
