Bashundhara Kings asserted their dominance in the Federation Cup, defeating City Club 2-0 to move to the top of Group B. With this win, the five-time champions have now secured a maximum of six points from two matches. The encounter at the Shaheed Miraj Tapan Stadium in Manikganj saw the Kings seize control early, with Robson Robinho breaking the deadlock in the 19th minute from a penalty kick. The spot-kick was awarded after City Club’s Gambian defender Foday Darboe fouled the Brazilian forward inside the box. Before the halftime whistle, the lead was doubled when Nigerian forward Emeka Ogbugh headed home a rebound after City Club goalkeeper Ishaq had blocked an initial attempt from Rakib.
Elsewhere, in Group B, Mohammedan Sporting Club faced a setback at the Shaheed Birshreshtha Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Munshiganj, drawing 1-1 against PWD Sports Club.

Mali striker Suleman Diabate finally broke the deadlock in the 61st minute with a precise finish from a long pass, appearing to put Mohammedan on track for a victory. However, the lead was short-lived as PWD’s Cameroonian forward Yohan Mbidar struck a brilliant goal in the 72nd minute to equalize. This result leaves Mohammedan in second place with four points from two outings. Additionally, Arambagh KS and Dhaka Wanderers Club played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Gopalganj District Stadium.
