Dhaka
(UNB) - Mohammedan Sporting Club kept their winning run in the NBL Premier
Division Football League with a comfortable 3-0 goals victory over Brothers
Union Club here yesterday (Wednesday). Celebrated
national striker Alfaz Ahmed scored two goals while former national forward
Imtaiz Ahmed Nakib one for the illustrious Motijheel outfit. But
the two strikers foiled more than half dozen chances against the off-colour
defense of the Gopibagh outfit in the one-sided match at the Bangabandhu
National Stadium. This
was the fourth consecutive win for defending champions Mohammedan while
Brothers Union suffered third successive defeat as they bagged only one win
against Badda Jagarani Sangsad. The
Brothers Union players looked inutile, specially having a huge gape in the
mid-field, after swallowing two goals in the first half. Country’s
number one striker Alfaz put his team ahead in the 22nd minute
when he placed the ball into the net after opposition goalie Milon failed to
grip a Ruhul Amin cross. Brothers
Union’s Nepalese recruit Bashanta Thapa created an opportunity four
minutes later to equalize the margin when he played a brilliant right-footer
dozing two defenders in danger zone but it deflected from the cross bar. Nakib,
amidst cheers from the popular black-and-white team supporters, doubled the
margin from a combined attack pushing the ball from a handshake distance off
a Rakib pass. In
the 25th minute of the second half, Mohammedan captain Alfaz
scored third goal for his team when his robust shot kissed the net. Nakib
got an easy chance from a Matiur Munna pass in the ninth minute of the
second half but the experienced striker played a ludicrous shot, which went
wide from target. After
the lemon break, Brothers Union could make only one shot to the opposition
goalmouth but the shot by Parvez Babu from 25-yard distance was saved by
Mohammedan custodian Ponir. Yellow
