Dhaka, Jan. 15 -- Dhaka Abahani Limited edged past Bangladesh Police by a solitary goal in their first match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Football at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on Thursday.

Dhaka Abahani Limited showed better performance than their opponents but they failed to break the defence of Bangladesh Police before 85th minute of the game.

After a barren first half, Abahani's Haitian recruit Belfort scored the all-important goal in the 85th minute of the play. Belfort got the ball at the D-box from his teammate Nabib Newaz Jiban but Belfort's first shot was returned after touching the body of a Police Defender and Belfort made no mistake to put the ball into the blank net.
