Nasrin Academy win women's football league title

Nasrin Sports Academy emerged unbeaten champions in the UCB Bangladesh Women's Football League with a massive 13-0 win over Dhaka Rangers FC in their last match at the Birshreshtha Shaheed Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Kamalapur on Tuesday.

Nasrin SA, who had finished runners-up in the 2019-20 season, ended the nine-team league with 22 points from eight matches, three more than runners-up Ataur Rahman Bhuiyan College SC.

National-players-studded Nasrin SA just needed a draw in their last match to clinch their maiden trophy but they toyed with the Rangers by taking a 9-0 lead in the first half before adding four more goals in the second half.

Nasrin, who had formed a strong team following the withdrawal of three-time champions Bashundhara Kings, won seven matches and drew only one against Ataur Rahman Bhuiyan College SC.

Captain Sabina, who needed four goals to topple Mosammat Sagorika's 15-goal haul, scored five to raise her tally to 17 and finished as the top-scorer. It was the third time that Sabina finished on top in six editions of the league.
