Kings wrap up campaign with win over Abahani

Already-champions Bashundhara Kings wrapped up their Bangladesh Premier League campaign with a 1-0 win over second-placed Abahani in their last match at the Bashundhara Kings Arena yesterday.

Dorielton Gomez's 21-st minute goal gave the now hattrick champions a comfortable victory, ending their campaign with 55 points from 20 games.

The new powerhouse of Bangladesh football lost only one match and drew one while winning the remaining 18 matches this season.

Dorielton, meanwhile, leads the scorer's chart with 19 goals, four ahead of Mohammedan Sporting Club's inspirational skipper Suleymane Diabate, who had almost single-handedly beaten Abahani in the final of the Federation Cup a couple of months ago.

Abahani, meanwhile, remained on 37 points from 19 games as there is still one more round of matches left for 10 teams.

Mohammedan consolidated fourth position with a 1-0 win over away to Fortis FC, thanks to a free-kick goal from Muzaffar Muzaffarov. The Black and Whites are on 26 points from 19 games while Forits FC are on 20 points from same number of matches.

The day's other match saw Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club thrash already-relegated Azampur FC 3-1, courtesy of a goal each from Cornelius Stewart, Mannaf Rabbi and Nodir Mavlonov.

Sheikh Jamal are in sixth position with 24 points with a game in hand.
