Jamal Rejoices in His First-ever Sol de Mayo Goal

In yesterday's third division match in Argentina, the Bangladesh captain Jamal Bhuiyan scored on his debut as Sol de Mayo defeated Germinal 2-1.

The 33-year-old scored a penalty kick in the 81st minute to help his team defeat Germinal 2-1 in the Torneo de Federal A League. He donned the captain's armband in his first game at the Sol de Mayo Stadium.

At the halfway point of the first half, Argentine attacker Fernando Valdebenito gave Sol de Mayo the lead. Three minutes before the allotted time expired, Germinal scored again, but Sol de Mayo held on to earn all three points and move up to fifth place in the nine-team points standings.

"Today was my first match. It was very cold – 3 to 4 degrees (Celsius) and very windy. But the most important thing is we bagged three points," Jamal said in a video message after the game.

"I was pleased with the goal I scored. Overall, I'm extremely thrilled since many Bangladeshis came to support me, the midfielder continued.

The following game for Sol de Mayo will take place on September 9, and Jamal will return to Bangladesh on Wednesday to join the team for the FIFA friendly against Afghanistan.
