Feni Soccer Club’s hopes of finishing the first phase of the Bangladesh League out of the relegation zone were shattered when they surrendered a two-goal lead to share points with Farashganj Sporting club in a 2-2 draw at the Kamalapur stadium on Monday.
Palash Majumder put the visiting side ahead in the 14th minute with a strong right-footer from his Ugandan partner Kubaye Dominic’s pass and Masudul Alam Bulbul doubled the lead on 36 minutes with a solo effort.
Bulbul got the ball near the centre circle and deceived two opponent defenders to enter their danger zone before beating rival goalie Sujon Chowdhury with a low drive from close range.
However, a blunder by a Feni Soccer player allowed their opponents to come back in the match. The host club’s midfielder Zakir Hossain was brought down inside the box and skipper Khokan Das converted the resulting penalty.
Khokan’s superb free-kick helped his side level the score in the 68th minute. His aerial shot found an unmarked Amadi Moses who headed the ball in.
The draw left Farashganj in 10th position in the league charts with nine points from their eleven first phase games while Feni Soccer Club have only six.
