Mamunul Islam was Abahani Limited Dhaka's hero with the winning goal as they came from behind to defeat Chennaiyin FC 3-2 in a 2019 AFC Cup Group E tie on Wednesday.
The two teams played out two contrasting halves, the second of which saw three goals packed in a space of 10 minutes. A late goal by Mamunul Islam clinched a hard-fought game in the favour of the hosts.
The Bangladesh club actively sought to equalise throughout the second half and kept the Chennaiyin defence busy. Just when things started to drift Chennaiyin’s way, Belfort succeeded in finding the back of the net with the deftest of touches after chesting down a long ball and cleverly dodging past Mailson in the 64th minute of the game.
