Water Power DA have hit new heights in the land of Pakistan after retaining the domestic Premier League by defeating Pakistan Army 1-0 in the remaining fixture of the season. Ishfaq Ahmed headed home a Jamshed Anwar corner to assure themselves of the trophy - ironically the encounter was the deciding championship match where a victory for Pakistan Army would have thrown the title into their grasps. After a season which contained 26 matches, Water Power DA finished in first position with 54 points and four points ahead of their closest adversary. Khan Research Laboratories, who had to settle for third place, gained small consolation as defender Samar Ishaq was declared the Most Valuable Player of the tournament and his team-mate Muhammad Rasool finished as the top-tier leading goalscorer with 22 goals.
Elsewhere, Regar-TadAZ demonstrated their supremacy in Tajikstan by soaring to a marvellous seventh championship success story since 2001. The reigning champions beat Khudland 3-1 to secure the status as winners still with three matches remaining on the fixture calendar. Regar-TadAZ currently stand on 94 points after 37 matches, 15 more than Khudjand, and so can remain confident of breaking the 100 point barrier in stunning fashion with victories in the remaining ties.
