DC Cup Football
Hosts clinch title


Subol became the toast of Khagrachhari as he scored the winning penalty against Dighinala in the final of the DC Cup football tournament at the Khagrachhari Stadium yesterday.

The hosts won 5-4 on penalties after the match was level at 0-0 after ninety minutes and a further 10 minutes of extra-time.

The hosts had the lion's share of the possession and they missed several easy opportunities to score during normal time.

In the first five shots of the penalty shootout, each team scored their first four but then, Monir missed the first sudden-death shot for Dighinala. Subol stepped up and struck the winning goal to send the 10,000 strong crowd into elation.

Later, Deputy Commissioner of Khagrachhari Md Golam Mowla handed over the prizes to the finalists and other individual winners.
