Dhaka Mohamme-dan Sporting Club claimed a crucial 3-1 victory against Brothers Union in the Citycell 2nd B. League football championship at Bangabandhu National Stadium in the city on Tuesday.
Title aspirant Dhaka Mohammedan started playing attacking football form the outset of the game and got the reward after 24 minutes when Nasir struck the first goal to put the black and whites 1-0 up. Bukola made the game safe for the Mohammedans eight minutes later, increasing margin 2-0.
Mohammad Robin then shattered the Brothers’ morale, adding yet another to its misery and brining a 3-0 advantage at the break.
Facing a tough task to equalize the margin, Brothers started the second session afresh, making some early forays but its all efforts went futile against the high spirited Dhaka Mohammedans, who were in no mood to let their advantage slip away. Foiling the Brothers’s attempts, Mohammedans also went on to attacks and came close to scoring on several occasions. However, they failed to increase the margin after the break.
