Late goal by Adoku Kweku Lucas earns a 2-2 draw for Nilandhoo against United Victory in the Premier League clash tonight.

Akram Ismail gave Nilandhoo the lead when United Victory failed to clear the ball and a defensive error. Goalkeeper Hassan Tolal(Toplak) was beaten from a just inside the box with a low drive. Ten minutes later United Victory equalized after sloppy defending by Nilandhoo finding former Maldives International Ahmed Nashid(Nattey) in the box, who coolly finished past the stranded goalkeeper to make it 1-1.

Shocking defending by Nilandhoo in the 70th minute gave the lead to United Victory when Silich Kyrlo blasted the ball into the net from inside the box to make it 2-1. Lucas became Nilandhoo's saviour again as he beat two players in the box before equalizing in this six pointer at the bottom of the league.

Second placed Green Streets will play against Da Grande on the 16th evening while Eagles will play against the league leaders Maziya in the game of the week on the 16th night.
