Enamul finds his feet again
Striker Enamul Haq finally broke his eight-match goal drought in the Grammenphone Bangladesh League to help Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club edge Rahmatganj MFS 2-1 at the Birshreshtha Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Kamalapur yesterday.
Since the Federation Cup final where the national striker struck a brace in Sheikh Jamal's 5-3 drubbing to champions Abahani, Enamul has struggled to find the back of opponents net. After eight match days with no success he was finally smiling in the ninth round after scoring the winner with the game locked at 1-1.
Enamul's striking partner Zahid Hasan Emily, who has also been struggling with poor form, struck his second goal in the league to put Sheikh Jamal ahead in the 17th minute when a rebound off a Enamul effort came his way.
However, Sheikh Jamal's lead lasted only ten minutes as Rahmatganj bit back with a right-foot strike from Ugandan striker Idris Kasirye, who scored both of Rahmatganj's goals in their 2-1 win over hosts Chittagong Mohammedan in Cox's Bazar in the previous game.
After the resumption, Enamul eased the pressure and ensured Sheikh Jamal's victory converting a penalty shot in his second attempt on 53 minutes. Sheikh Jamal, who played out a goalless draw against Sheikh Russel in previous match, was awarded a spot kick as midfielder Modo Huges was brought down by a Rahmatganj defender.
The fifth triumph in nine matches took Sheikh Jamal to the joint third place with Sheikh Russel KC on 18 points each while Rahmatganj slipped to the fifth position with 16 points.
