Right after the first half whistle, 2015 top-flight champion Sheikh Jamal brought parity in the 51st minute when Gambian forward Emil Sambu found the back of the net from a Solomon King pass from the left flank.
A quick brace from Matin Mia though gave the Kings all three points.
Matin bagged his first in the 57th minute as he headed home from an Emon Mahmud chip while six minutes later, the former connected a pass from Costa Rican forward Daniel Colindres.
