Haitian forward Augustine Walson’s late strike saw Brothers Union grab full points against Chittagong Abahani with a 2-1 win in the second phase of the Nitol-Tata Bangladesh Premier League at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
Chittagong Abahani drew first blood in the 13th minute through a combined move. Guinean forward Ousmane Cherrif made his way through the left flank and cut a neat cross for midfielder Ismael Jahed who headed the ball into the near post.
However, an own goal from Chittagong Abahani saw Brothers Union restore parity in the 15th minute. Nigerian midfielder Simon Ezeodka shot towards the Abahani net and the ball deflected off the foot of defender Nazrul Islam before landing into the far post netting.
With the match destined to end in a draw, Haiti's Walson sealed the fate of the match in the 86th minute with a side-footed placing shot from close range.
Brothers Union took their tally to 19 points from 13 matches while Chittagong Abahani still had their previous collection of seven points from the same number of matches.
