Neither Daniel Colindres nor Hernán Barcos. The Bashundhara Kings have recruited Brazilian Robson da Silva Robinho and Argentine-born Chilean Raúl Besara to fill their void. In their competitive debut for the club, both forwards found the direction of the net. On the contrary, the Rahmatganj Society of Muslim Friends, struggling to cope with the attack, made unforgivable mistakes. As a result, the reigning champions got off to a good start in the Federation Cup by winning Daputa.
Bashundhara beat Rahmatganj 3-0 at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in the opening match of the 32nd edition of the competition on Tuesday. In the one-sided Group C match, the former Dhaka team did not attract the attention of Oscar Brujon’s disciples.
Bangladesh’s national football was suspended in mid-March due to the global coronavirus epidemic. After that, the entire 2019-20 season was canceled by the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF). After a long break, the Bangladeshi footballers have already entered the field of play on the international stage. School soccer and women’s soccer have also been played on the field. Men’s national soccer also made a comeback with the Bashundhara-Rahmatganj match.
Bashundhara dominated the fight between the two finalists from last edition from the beginning. They could have scored in the first minute. But after Rahmatganj goalkeeper Russell Mahmud couldn’t pick up the ball with Liton’s gloves, Beser’s weak volley couldn’t find the net.
The wait for the star-studded Bashundhara to keep the opponent busy with attack after attack came to an end in the 43rd minute. Another free kick by Brazilian rookie Jonathan da Silveira Fernández was hit with a magnificent header.
Robinho doubled the lead in the eighth minute after the break. Rahmatganj’s defender Mahmudul Hasan Kiran passed the ball to the opposition. But he was not under any pressure. Robinho finds the net over the goalkeeper’s head with a spectacular chip from outside the D-box.
Rahmatganj was completely eliminated from the match in the 64th minute by a suicidal goal. Emon Babu’s shot from a Robinho cross from the left wing was blocked by goalkeeper Liton, but could not completely clear the danger. Then Egyptian defender Aladdin Nasser wrapped his head in the net with a fumble.
