Colombo FC bounce back to draw game

A late second half rally by Colombo FC enabled them to hold Red Star to a 2-all draw in their Super League match at the Sugathadasa Stadium yesterday.

After trailing 2-nill until the last 15 minutes, the Colombo lads bounced back to score two goals in quick succession to force a draw.

Both teams fought hard in search of their maiden goal in the first half, but they failed to improvise on the given chances which led to a scoreless first half.

After the turn around Red Star played a much-settled game with an attacking approach. They reached success as Mohamed Rahuman booted two sensational goals to put his side in the box seat. But Zarwan Johar reduced the gap midway in the second half, while Ahamed Shazny scored the equalizer to hold the scoreline 2-all at the full-time whistle. (AN)
