Bashundhara face Mohun Bagan in AFC Cup today

May 21, 2022 00:00:00


Spirited Bashundhara Kings take on local heavy weight ATK Mohun Bagan in their second group D match of the AFC Cup scheduled to be held today (Saturday) at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata, reports BSS.

The match kicks off at 5 pm (BST).

The Bangladesh premier league champions Kings tasted their tournament opening campaign beating Maldives' Maziya Sports and Recreation Club by a hard-fought solitary goal victory. A 33rd-minute strike from Gambian forward Nuha Marong settled the contest against a Maziya side.

Bashundhara Kings should consider themselves as lucky to secure all three points from their first match as they only registered 42 per cent possession and 344 passes when compared to their opponents (58 per cent possession and registered 471 passes).

Bashundhara Kings will take to the field against Mohun Bagan with an upper hand because back with three points from the first match and another victory will steer them another step closer to the inter-zone playoff semi-finals as only one team from Group D will make it to the next round.
