Abahani Limited Dhaka of Bangladesh picked up their first win in Group E of the 2018 AFC Cup on Wednesday, April 11 with a 3-0 victory away to India’s Aizawl FC at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati.
It took just two minutes for Abahani Limited Dhaka to open the scoring as a Rubel Miya effort deflected off Chawnghlut Lalrosanga and looped into the net.
The visitors extended their lead in the 17th minute when Ndukaku Alison converted a scrappy effort from close range after a corner wasn’t cleared, before Seiya Kojima made it 3-0 from just inside the area eight minutes before half-time.
Things were tighter in the second half, with Aizawl FC managing to prevent Abahani Limited Dhaka from adding to the score but also failing to register a goal of their own.
The defeat leaves Aizawl FC rooted to the bottom of the group without any points, while Abahani Limited Dhaka sit third on three points, three behind New Radiant SC of the Maldives and six adrift of leaders Bengaluru FC of India.
The two sides will come head to head again on April 25, when Aizawl FC will be targeting revenge for this loss to Abahani Limited Dhaka in the return fixture in Dhaka.
