DHAKA, May 20, 2026 (BSS) - Brazilian forward Doriellton Gomes produced a 
brilliant hat-trick as Bashundhara Kings retained the Federation Cup title 
with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Mohammedan Sporting Club in the final held 
at the Bashundhara Kings Arena on Wednesday.
 
Mohammedan took the lead twice in the first half and went into the break with 
a 2-1 advantage, but Doriellton's second-half brilliance helped Kings 
complete a dramatic comeback and secure the trophy.

The Brazilian striker scored twice after the interval and finished the entire 
Federation Cup campaign with an impressive tally of 12 goals.

Mohammedan made an early breakthrough when Uzbek midfielder Muzaffar 
Muzaffarov opened the scoring in the 5th minute. However, the lead lasted 
only a few minutes as Doriellton equalized from the penalty spot in the 9th 
minute.

Forward Sourav Dewan restored Mohammedan's lead in the 34th minute, giving 
the traditional black-and-white outfit a narrow advantage at halftime.

After the restart, Bashundhara Kings fought back strongly. Doriellton leveled 
the score once again in the 50th minute before completing his hat-trick with 
the winning goal in the 80th minute.

Mohammedan attempted to respond in the closing stages but failed to find 
another equalizer.

With the victory, Bashundhara Kings once again demonstrated their dominance 
in domestic football by securing a domestic treble for the second time since 
joining the country's top-flight league.

Earlier this season, Kings won the Challenge Cup title and also reclaimed the 
Bangladesh Premier League championship, continuing their remarkable run of 
success in Bangladesh football.
