Instead, Maruful Haque’s Chittagong Abahani ensured their place in the quarter-finals alongside holder Bashundhara Kings, who beat Rahmatganj 3-0 in their opening match Tuesday at the same venue. Chittagong Abahani scripted some glorious goal-scoring chances, and once they did go ahead in the half hour mark, they held onto the lead till the end. Brazilian striker Nixon Guilherme passed to Charles Didier in the 13th minute but Charles shot straight at the Rahmatganj goalkeeper. Nixon could’ve extended Chittagong Abahani’s lead but his scrambled effort was parried away by the Rahmatganj netminder in the 71st minute. Rahmatganj got one final opportunity in the 81st minute to bring parity but Naim fisted away Enamul Islam’s shot.
