Shamsunnahar continues goal glut in women's league

Shamsunnahar Jr continued her impressive run in the Bangladesh Women’s Football League, once again playing a decisive role for Farashganj. 

On Saturday, Farashganj secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Bangladesh Army Sports Club, with Shamsunnahar scoring the winning goal.

The forward from Kalsindur was named Player of the Match for the fifth game in a row as Farashganj registered their fifth consecutive win. 

The decisive moment came in the second half at the Bir Shreshtha Shaheed Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Kamalapur, when Shamsunnahar struck a powerful left-footed long-range shot from a tight angle to beat Army goalkeeper Mili Akter.

Following the goal, Army were reduced to ten players after a red card and were unable to mount a comeback. 

Asked whether the goal was the best of the season, Shamsunnahar said: “Not just in the league, even at national level, most of my goals come from headers, which I enjoy the most. But since this was a difficult match and I scored this goal, I would call it my best. Winning Player of the Match in all five games makes it even more special.”

Shamsunnahar Jr has now scored an astonishing 19 goals in five matches in the ongoing league.
