Asif, Shah bag goals to lead bankers to victory in PPFL encounter.

KARACHI: NBP registered an easy 2-0 win against Navy in their Pakistan Premier Football League (PPFL) match at the Korangi Baloch Ground yesterday.

NBP got off to a flying start when Mohammad Asif put them in front inside the first minute of the match as Navy’s defensive lineup was caught napping.

The unexpected beginning of the match brought it to life with both teams trying to get one better over the other.

However, the first minute action was the only success story of the first-half as NBP went into the interval leading 1-0.

The start of the second-half was almost a repeat of the first session, however in this instance NBP took some time to put one past Navy. Farooq Shah scored in 55th minute to help NBP double their lead which was maintained till the final whistle blew.

In today’s fixture, Lyallpur is set to face PAF in Lahore.
