Bahawalpur hold Lahore
LAHORE, Nov 24: Both league matches of Punjab Inter-district football championship ended in a draw at the Punjab Stadium on Thursday. Bahawalpur staged a comeback to draw against hosts Lahore 1-1.
Zahid Niaz gave Lahore an early lead when he scored a field goal in the 15th minute.
Half time score was 1-0.
The visitors came back in the second half with a new strategy and their efforts bore fruits soon as they equalised score 1-1 when Muhammad Ali banged home in the 52nd minute with a long-range rasping drive on left corner.
In the remaining play, Bahawalpur managed to keep Lahore at bay and eventually earned the draw which was a great success for them.
In the second match, Sargodha and hot favourite for the title Faisalabad delighted the crowed with their attacking game in a goalless draw.
Both the teams launched onslaughts but their finishing was not at par as they failed to score at all.
Bahawlapur will play Faisalabad on Friday.
