On Sunday, the 10th of February 2019, Bourj FC played at home against Al Islah Al Bourj Al Shimaly, one of the teams which were relegated from the Premier League last year and were supposed to be one of the contenders for promotion. Unfortunately for them, Al Islah is rather involved in the fight to avoid relegation.
Bourj FC continues to march triumphantly towards the Lebanese Premier League. At Amin Abdelnour Stadium in Bhamdoun, they obtained a clear victory, 6-1 (4-1), which does not need too many comments.
Bourj FC starting line-up: Abdul Karim Saleh - Ali Harb, Hisham Shahimi, Bilal Nasrallah, Ali Jawad - Papi Thandom, Mohammed Abdul Karim - Yannis Bessaa, Haidar Khreiss, Ali Harouni - Wassem Abdelhady.
Goalscorers: Papi Thandom (4'), Haidar Khreiss (8'), Wassem Abdelhady (16', 33', 77') and Ali Hourani (80') for Bourj, Zain Fran (45') for the visitors. Next week, on Saturday, Bourj will play to neighbouring Mabarrah in one of the traditional derbies of the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Given the other results, one should notice that only Shabab El Bourj and Ahly Sidon have remained involved in the fight for promotion, together with Bourj FC.
The situation becomes more complicated in the relegation zone, as the last two classified, Homenetmen and Naser Barelias, both won and got closer to the teams above the relegation line.
