Rabiul Hossain slammed a hattrick to help Gaibandha inflict a massive 7-1 defeat on Lalmonirhat at Natore while goals were in abundance at Comilla too, where Sylhet blanked neighbours Moulvibazar 3-0.

In other matches, Jhalakati beat Barguna 2-0 at Khulna, Kishore-ganj edged Netrakona 2-1 at Mymensingh while Barisal beat Gopalganj by a solitary goal at Shariatpur.

Two matches went into penalty shootout with Magura beating Meherpur 4-1 after a 1-1 draw at Narail while Tangail defeated Gazipur 4-2 after a goalless draw in regulation time at Manikganj.
