Bashundhara retain BPL title

Brazilian duo Robinho and Fernandes guided Bashundhara Kings to clinch the 13-team Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Football 2020-21 crown with four matches to spare beating three-time champions Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club by 2-0 goals at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in the city Monday, reports UNB.

With the day's victory, star-studded Bashundhara Kings confirmed their 2nd BPL title securing 55 points from 20 matches. Their league crown will not hamper in case of conceding defeats in all the remaining four matches.

This is the 2nd major title for the Kings in the ongoing season after winning the season' s curtain raiser meet Federation Cup Football. Kings Women's Football team also clinched the premier league football title a few days back.

It will be a huge morale boost up for the Kings before participating this month's AFC Cup Football in the Maldives.

After the day's defeat, Sheikh Jamal DC out of the title race with their previous credit of 39 points from 19 encounters and joined the runners-up battle with six-time champions Dhaka Abahani Ltd, which bagged 40 points from 20 outings.
