2018 Federation Cup final incident

On 23 November 2018, Abahani Limited Dhaka faced Bashundhara Kings in the 2018 Federation Cup final. In the 94th minute of the game, a fight erupted when Bashundhara's defender Sushanto Tripura punched Abahani striker Nabib Newaj Jibon. This led to Abahani teammate Mamun Mia retaliating by sprinting from his own penalty area and delivering a flying "Kung Fu"-styled kick to Sushanto.[3]

The Bangladesh Football Federation, suspended Shushanto for six games and fined him Tk 100,000,[4] while Mamun was fined a total of Tk 50,000 and had received a one match ban.[5][6] Eventually, both Mamun and Shushanto had their suspensions reduced.[7] The incident received mass media attention over the next few months.[8]

In 2021, Shushanto, Jibon and Mamun become teammates at Abahani. Later, all three of them stated in an interview that they had made amends.[3]
