Lanka in next round of AFC Challenge

Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka a 2 all draw:

Sri Lanka found a place in the next stage of the AFC Challenge Cup Qualifier 2009 by virtue of holding Pakistan for a 2 all draw in their crucial football match played at the Sugathadasa Stadium under lights yesterday.

The Lankans had collected 7 points to Pakistan’s 6 as both teams remained unbeaten, and the Pakistanis had to beat the Lankans if they were to proceed to the next stage of the tournament.

The home team sprang into the lead almost with the kick off when they were awarded a free kick and Chatura Maduranga taking it out side the box, lobbed in a well calculated kick for Rohana Ruwanthileka to complete the header which beat the Pakistan custodian.

Sri Lanka led 1\0 at the breather. On resumption both teams played at a moderate pace and identical fashion, and nothing spectacular happened.

The Sri Lanka team almost paid the penalty for going on the defensive. Two goals in rapid succession by Safi Ullah and Mohammed Rashil within three minutes almost took Sri Lanka’s chances away in entering the next round.

But during the dying stages of the game, Dinu Hettiarachchi headed one into the net to score the equalizer.
