The 9th Karachi Football League 2011-12 Super League round saw Al-Shabaz (Korangi) hold home side Korangi Baloch (Sharafi) 1-1 yesterday, 4 April 2012.
The cagey affair saw both sides gain a point each at Korangi Baloch Stadium in Sharafi, Karachi. The previous encounter between the two sides saw Al-Shabaz beat Korangi Baloch 2-0 in Group B clash on 21 November 2011.
The opening exchanges were fast paced, as Al-Shabaz took the lead after 8 minutes when Shah Alam scored from a Abdul Rehman pass. Korangi Baloch responded but missed two glorious chances to score as Akhtar Baloch and Abdul Jabbar Jr. came close. Muhammad Rafique almost doubled the lead for Al-Shabaz but failed to score as his side led 1-0 at half time.
2nd half saw Korangi Baloch awarded a penalty in 56th minute for a foul on Jabbar Jr. but Abdul Wahid saw his spot-kick saved by Al-Shabaz goalkeeper Manzoor Alam. With time running out, Korangi Baloch finally found the equaliser in 87th minute when Aqeel Ahmed’s shot found the back of the net to make it 1-1. Referees were M Rizwan, Javed Bangash, Babar Khan, and match commissioner Abdul Karim.
The score finished same as both sides completed 4 games each of the KFL Super League round. Al-Shabaz lie on 5 points while Korangi Baloch are on 7 points. On 6 April 2012, Baloch Youth (Garden) face Burma Mohammadan (Korangi).
