Mohammedan follow Abahani
After Abahani, their bitter rivals Mohammedan Sporting Club also made a disappointing start to the Sheikh Kamal International Club Cup football tournament when they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Nepalese side Manang Marshyangdi Club at the MA Aziz Stadium today.
After a barren first half, the Nepal national league champions took the lead from a counter attack with Rohit Chand releasing a long ball for striker Afeez Ollawale Oladipo, who raced past a Mohammedan defender before sending the ball into the net over the advancing goalkeeper Mamun Khan eights minute into the second half.
Three minutes from time, Nepal wrapped up the victory with Bishal Rai providing the finishing touches after a through ball from Oladipo.
Earlier, on the opening day of the eight-team invitational tournament on Saturday, Abahani suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of TC Sports Club of Maldives.
