Sudanese striker James Moga struck his league first goal as Muktijoddha Sangsad came from behind to defeat visitors Chittagong Abahani 3-2 in the Grameenphone Bangladesh League at the Birshreshtha Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Kamalapur yesterday.
Federation Cup top-scorer Moga, who missed the first five games for Muktijoddha due to his decision to go back home to care of his family in trouble-hit Sudan, levelled the margin one minute from the break after Towhidul Alam had put Chittagong Abahani ahead in the 30th minute
After the resumption, midfielder Alamgir Kabir Rana gave Muktijoddha the lead in the 55th minute while defender Rajani Kanta Barman struck his third goal in the league to make sure of victory though Peter reduced the margin for Abahani just one minute from time.
The sixth victory in eight matches took Muktijoddha Sangsad to the top of table with 19 points, two more than holders Abahani while Chittagong Abahani remained stuck to the bottom of the 12-team table with only two points from eight matches.
