With only 10 minutes remaining in the match and 6,500 spectators holding their breath at the Kings Arena, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. The home team, Bashundhara Kings, found themselves trailing 1-0 against Maldives' Mazia Sports and Recreation Club. Oscar Brujon's team faced the daunting prospect of experiencing their first defeat on home turf. However, despite the late setback, the Kings conjured up magic in the final 10 minutes to secure a remarkable 2-1 victory over Mazia Sports and Recreation Club.
The win propelled Bashundhara to the top of the table in Group 'D,' amassing 10 points from 5 matches. Brujon's squad is now set to travel to Bhubaneswar on December 11 for a crucial match against Odisha FC. A victory in that encounter would see Bashundhara reach the regional semi-finals for the first time in their history.
From the onset, the hosts dominated Mazia at the Bashundhara Kings Arena, maintaining control of the match. Despite several attacks showcasing the team's prowess, the absence of Brazilian star Robinho, sidelined due to injury, hampered their finishing. However, their attacking rhythm suffered a setback in the 10th minute when goalkeeper Mehdi Hassan Shravan made a crucial mistake, allowing Mazia to take the lead. This error in the first half momentarily dulled Bashundhara's edge, although Mazia's attempts to score were denied by the referee, who dismissed claims for handball and offside.
Despite a promising opportunity after halftime, as Mfon Udoh failed to convert, Bashundhara struggled to find the back of the net. Sheikh Morsalin and Rafiqul Islam were introduced in the 68th minute, altering the dynamics of the Kings' game. In the 77th minute, Morsalin's well-placed shot, assisted by Mfon, revived the team's hopes. The turning point came in the 80th minute when Boburbek's header, courtesy of Morsalin's corner, found the net. Although Dorielton's subsequent attempt went over the crossbar, Kings secured the winning goal in the 87th minute. Miguel, receiving a touch from Dorielton, unleashed a curling left-footed shot from approximately 30 yards, beating the goalkeeper and sealing the dramatic victory."
