Bashundhara Kings have created a new milestone in the country’s football history as they became the first club to win the Bangladesh Premier League title for five successive times on Saturday (May 11).

The Bangladeshi giants achieved the feat when they registered a 2-1 goal victory over Mohammedan Sporting Club in their 15th match of the ongoing 2023-24 edition at Rafiq Uddin Bhuiyan Stadium in Mymensingh to confirm the league title with three matches to spare.

With the day’s win, the defending champions moved to 40 points on the top of the standings and confirmed the title with three games left by extending the point differences with second-placed Mohammedan and third-placed Abahani Ltd Dhaka to 12 and 14 respectively. 

Brazilian midfielder Dorielton Nascimento scored a brace in the 19th and 52nd minutes that sealed the fate of the match while midfielder Minhajur Abedin Rakib scored one in the 66th minute that reduced the margin for Mohammedan.
