Football: Bangladesh Wins Gold

2010-02-08T20:23:00.002+05:30

Bangladesh reclaimed the coveted football gold medal of the SA Games after a span of 11 years with a facile 4-0 victory over Afghanistan in the final held at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on Monday.

Atikur Rahman Mishu, Enamul Huq, Abdul Baten Komol and Towhidul Alam Sobuj struck for the champions who dominated all the way through and presented the host country the 18th gold medal of the meet. Bangladesh wrapped their campaign with the gold medal believed to be the most precious of the sports extravaganza.

Bangladesh booters produced excellent commitment, maintained the same rhythm and were focused to their duties that categorically made the difference. Afghanistan had very little space to show their abilities and their in form forward Belal Arezou who scored nine goals in their way to the final failed to put any impact in his teams attacking aspirations.

Bangladesh reaped the fruit of their incessant onslaught in the 18th minute through midfielder Mishu. Defender Nasir produced another of his dazzling footwork to dribble past two Afghan defenders and finding no way to halt Nasir the Afghan defense hurled him down at about 20 yards off the post. Before Waly Faisal curled the free kick Mamunul Islam and Emily dummied the shot that left the Afghan defense puzzled.
Mishu anticipated the flight and put a delicate header in the right hand post of Afghan custodian Bashir Ahmad.

Bangladesh did not put any respite in their attacking flair and continued the exploration in the opponent defense. Enamul the agile forward unleashed a fierce side volley from the middle of the box in the 24th minute but saw his effort fly past the side post.

The thirst for the title kept the Bangladesh booters on their toes and it paid the dividend. Bangladesh doubled the lead in the 33rd minute. Left winger Shakil sprinted at his level best to take control of an Enamul cross and turned it into a neat center that beat Bashir in air and Enamul had all the time to head the ball home.

Afghanistan remained cornered in the own zone creating little headache for Bangladesh. Their forwards tried to use the flanks with the long ball but it turned naïve. Bangladesh took time in the dying stage of the first half and waited for the spaces for counter attacks. Emily was unfortunate in the 40th minute when header off a Shakil cross bounced over the crosspiece of substitute Afghan custodian Fradon Khatibi.

After the change of ends Bangladesh tasted the Afghan flair for a while and Aminul was savior as usual. Faisal Shahzada headed a neat Wahid Nadeem cross in the 58th minute but Aminul stretched to limit in the right side to punch the ball to safety.

Serbian coach Djordevic inserted fresh attacking duo of Mithun and Komol in the last half hour mark taking off Emily and Enamul and it worked again. Komol who was running behind the ball all through the pitch fired the third goal in the 69th minute. Afghan defence line faltered to clear a Mishu freekick from the right flank and Komol taking the ball turned 90 degree blasting the ball into the roof of the net.

Two minutes ahead of the stipulated time substitute forward Towhidul Alam Sobuj put the final nail in the Afghan coffin after Fradon Khatebi let a Komol drive slip from his grip and nearby standing Sobuj headed it home.

2010-02-08T19:11:00.002+05:30

Indian coach G.E.Sridharan said, “Our hard work has paid off. The key to our success was our attack. Our blockers also stepped up in the finals blocking Pakistan attackers on a regular basis.”

Football: Indian Womens Wins Gold

2010-02-08T18:04:00.002+05:30

Shehan and Naseem fastest man and women

2010-02-08T18:00:00.001+05:30

Shehan Saearuwan Abeypitiyage of Sri Lanka and Naseem Hamid of Pakistan emerged as the fastest man and woman of the 11 SA Games winning the 100 meter sprint with a timing of 10:46 and11: 81 seconds respectively on Monday 07 February 2010.

Both the results were regarded as upsets as Shehan toppled India’s Abdul Najeeb Qureshi who won the 200 meter defeating Shehan and was regarded as the hot favourite.

On the other hand a woman from Pakistan winning the 100 M sprint was unimaginable as it did not happen before and the Pakistani women sprinter were never in the fray of the winners in the 26 year history of the SA Games. Naseem blazed the track to create a piece of history on the track of the Bangabandhu National Stadium.

Pakistan retains Hockey Gold

2010-02-07T21:18:00.002+05:30

Pakistan retained its gold in the hockey event of the South Asian Games defeating arch rival India 4-3 in tie-breakers in the final at Moulana Bhasani National Hockey Stadium in Dhaka on Sunday 07 February 2010.

The match rolled into the tie-breakers after the regulation and extra time ended in a one-all draw.

India tried to subdue the Pakistanis from the beginning with a flurry of moves and took an early lead when skipper Ajitesh Roy scored from a penalty corner just six minutes after the push-off.

Pakistan players toiled hard for an equaliser in the remainder of the first session but their efforts went futile as their goal-shy forwards frittered away some easy chances.

Pakistan, which lost to India 5-1 in the preliminary-round match, started to gain rhythm as the second half wore on and the defending champions returned to the contention when Wasif Siddque converted a penalty corner on 45 minutes to put the match on an even keel.

With the regulation time ended in a 1-1 draw and the extra 15 minutes also failed to separate the two teams, the play moved into the tie-breakers.

Wasif Siddique, Kashif Javid, Tasawar Abbass and captain Sabtain Raza scored goals in the shoot-out, while Zeeshan Ali missed the target for Pakistan.

V. Raghunath, Innocent and Vikash scored for India, while Pakistan goalkeeper Imran Butt foiled the attempts of Varinder and Dharamveer Singh to bring off the second successive gold in the South Asian Games for his country.

Bangladesh wins Bronze in Hockey

2010-02-07T17:32:00.001+05:30

Bangladesh staged a brilliant comeback to score a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Sri Lanka to reclaim the bronze medal in the hockey event of the 11th South Asian Games on Sunday 07 February 2010.

Bangladesh successfully negated its first half deficit and emerged winner when Ashiquzzaman and Mamunur Rahman Chayan scored goals in the second half of the third-place play-off match at Moulana Bhasani National Hockey Stadium in Dhaka.

It was a sweet revenge for the hosts who lost their bronze to the same opponents in 2006 Colombo South Asian Games.

Bangladesh coach Gerhard Peter Rach said it was the outcome their hard work. “We worked hard to regain bronze. It was our commitment. Boys put a lot of efforts and got the reward. It would have been more happier for me if we would have won the silver,” the German said.
