Dhaka,  4 May- Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra returned to winning streak as they came from behind defeating Fortis Football Club by 2-1 goals in the ABG Bangladesh Premier League football held at Rajshahi district Stadium in Rajshahi.

In the day's match, Gambian forward Pa Omar Babou put Fortis Football Club ahead in the 31st minute but the lead lasted for few minutes when Ganiu Ogungbe restored the parity for Sheikh Russel in the 36th minute of the match.

After the breather, Sheikh Russel took 2-1 lead when Fortis defender Abdullah Omar scored a suicidal goal in the 64th minute of the match.
