Farooq’s brace leads NBP to victory

Bankers defeat Baloch FC 3-0 in PPFL match.

KARACHI: Farooq Shah scored a second-half brace to propel NBP to an emphatic 3-0 win against Baloch FC in their Pakistan Premier Football League (PPFL) encounter yesterday.

Both teams had to toil hard to break the deadlock during the first half and all efforts looked to be in vain.

However, Baloch FC were caught napping in the dying moments, and Farooq took full advantage as he gave the bankers a much needed 1-0 lead going into half-time.

NBP dominated the second interval as well, with Farooq striking the net again in the 67th minute to put his side on the verge of victory.

Any doubts towards NBP’s win were laid to rest by an impressive goal from striker Abdul Aziz seven minutes before the final whistle to seal the deserved points.
