Jewel leads Abahani to victory

Abahani Limited joined Bashundhara Kings at the summit of the Bangladesh Premier League points table with maximum nine points from three matches after the Sky Blues edged Rahmatganj Muslim Friends Society 1-0 at Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka Saturday.

Substitute forward Jewel Rana scored the winner in the 79th minute after Rayhan Hasan’s long throw-in was laid towards his path by Haitian Kervens Belfort’s back-header.

Mario Lemos’ charges earlier beat Police Football Club and Brothers Union in their first two matches, while Rahmatganj suffered their second successive loss following their defeat to Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra, after opening their campaign with a draw against Saif Sporting Club.
