Abahani Limited knocked out of Federation Cup

Abahani Limited Dhaka crashed out of the Federation Cup after suffering a 1-0 defeat to PWD Sports Club in their crucial group match held on Tuesday at Bashundhara Kings Arena.

The equation for Abahani to stay alive in the competition was already complicated before the match. Even a victory would not have guaranteed progression, as their fate depended on the outcome of the match between Rahmatganj MFS and Youngmens Club Fakirerpool. However, the Sky Blue Dhanmondi outfit failed to keep their hopes alive, suffering a defeat that confirmed their elimination.

After a goalless first half, the decisive moment came in the 66th minute when Mohammed Abdullah netted the all-important goal for PWD, sealing a vital win.    �"BSS
