Yesterday witnessed two thrilling ABPL matches between Austin Arsenal and Austin United South, as well as RRP FC and Leander FC. Despite missing some players due to the Juneteenth holiday, both teams showcased their skills with the help of guest players.
In the first game, Austin Arsenal clashed with Austin United South in a highly competitive encounter. The match was characterized by fast-paced play and numerous opportunities. Although Austin Arsenal dominated the chances, their forwards Aziz, Ishmam, and Deedar failed to convert. The standout performance came from Austin United South’s guest goalkeeper, Munir, who made remarkable saves to deny Arsenal’s goal-scoring attempts. Meanwhile, Sabbir Jr. and Shafiur led the charge for Austin United South, with guest player Neon eventually netting the decisive goal. Despite Rubayet’s impressive saves in Arsenal’s goal, Neon’s well-placed shot secured a hard-fought victory for Austin United South.
In the second match of the day, RRP FC assembled a star-studded lineup with guest players Sabbir Jr. and Shafiur from Austin United South, as well as Ishmam from Austin Arsenal. On the other hand, Leander FC faced the absence of their key player Liton, who began the game as the goalkeeper.
