Rupanagar Boys Club squeezed past Golden Future Club and lifted the Ward 6 title in the Zia Under-14 Football Tournament. One goal proved enough, but the victory rested on discipline, patience, and a refusal to blink.
Golden Future pressed and pushed, but Rupanagar controlled space intelligently. They kept their defensive line compact, denied central lanes, and forced hopeful balls wide that their back line dealt with calmly.
After the goal, Rupanagar protected their lead with maturity beyond their years. They slowed the tempo, won second balls, and turned the match into a test of nerve rather than flair.
Golden Future chased an equaliser but found no way through. Rupanagar blocked shots, tracked runners, and treated every clearance like a small victory.
The celebrations followed at Arambagh Eidgah ground. Rupanagar collected the champion’s cheque of one lakh taka, while Golden Future took home fifty thousand as runners-up.
Individual honours underlined Rupanagar’s dominance. Sifat claimed Player of the Tournament, Rashedul Islam secured the best goalkeeper award, and Nirab finished as top scorer with four goals.
