ABPL witnessed two jaw dropping games last night as United South Austin defeated Leander Bandits 2-1 at Williamson County Soccer Field to win the first ever soccer league organized for Austin’s BD community’s players, ABPL (Austin BD-Soccer Premier League). On the other game, Austin Arsenal defeated RRP FC (Round Rock-Pflugerville) 2-0 at RRMC (Round Rock Multipurpose Complex) and confirmed second position irrespective of the result in the final game.
Both Leander and South Austin missed few of their top players, but it was a close game between these two teams. Rezwan jr and Shafiur scored for United South Austin, while Sabbir scored for Leander. Leander lost all the 3 games this season against South Austin.
On the second game of the day, Austin Arsenal and RRP FC played in the beautiful turf field at RRMC ground. Both teams played attacking games and had plenty of chances, but Arsenal managed to earn full points with two goals from Niraf in the first half.
Despite some criticism and skepticism by few, ABPL turned out to become quite popular among the local soccer players and brought lots of soccer players to the field during this hot summer. The final two games of ABPL will take place on next Sunday (July 31st).
