Approaching to the last group stage matches of Roshan Afghan Premier League (RAPL) 2016, Simorgh Alborz will go against Oqaban Hindukosh at the Afghanistan Football Federation (AFF) stadium today, September 16, 2016 at 3:30 pm. This will be the 11th fixture.  

Playing De Spinghar Bazan in its first game, Simorgh Alborz made a 2-2 draw. Later, Alborz cruise to a 4-1 triumph over Mawjhai Amu, illustrating its ability to claim the RAPL 2016 cup. Monirulhaq Nadim, the well-known striker of Alborz has contributed significantly to enhance the team’s performance. 

Alborz accumulated a total of four points in this season, yet another victory over Oqaban will lead it to the fifth season semi-finals. 

Oqaban Hindukosh, the RAPL 2014 runner-up, could not prevent the loss and conceded the game 2-0 to Mawjhai Amu in its first contest of RAPL 2016. Oqaban was not fortunate later too. Its second pitch against De Spinghar Bazan ended 0-0. Oqaban gained only one point so far. 

The real challenge for Oqaban Hindukosh is its victory over Alborz in today’s match. If the team wins Albor with a higher goal difference it may have the chance of advancing to semi-finals. 

The matches will be broadcast live on TOLO TV, Lemar TV, Arman FM, and Arakozai FM.  It will also be watchable on the RAPL YouTube page (www.youtube.com/afghanpremierleague). More information about RAPL 2016 and teams can be found on (www.afghanpremierleague.com).
