LAHORE: Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited and National Bank of Pakistan played a 3-3 draw in the Pakistan Premier Football League (PPFL) here at Punjab Stadium on Saturday.

However, NBP responded quickly and strongly scoring back-to-back goals through Adil Ahmed (21st, 33rd) to take a 2-1 lead.

Adding to the woes of SNGPL, Sher Ali made it 3-1 for NBP in the dying minutes of the first half.
