Ctg MSC's double against Reds

Chittagong Mohammedan kept their slim hopes alive for a fourth-place finish in the Citycell B. League with a comfortable 2-0 win over Muktijoddha yesterday.
The visitors, playing their last match in capital in the competition, went ahead after nine minutes at the Bangabandhu National Stadium when captain Masud Parvez Kaiser shot home on a pass from Rasel.
The port city side, who had won their home match against the Reds by same margin, sealed the victory in the 57th minute when Kaiser set Imtiaz Sultan Jitu to score his second league goal.
The victory, fifth-placed Mohammedan's eighth in 19 games, took them to 30 points, just one behind Brothers Union who have two matches in hand.
On the other hand, relegation fears kept Muktijoddha haunting as the struggling giants remained second from bottom with ten points from 19 matches.
The Reds play their last match against bottom-table Khulna Abahani, who must win both their remaining games including one against Mohammedan in Dhaka today to avoid demotion.
Muktijoddha, however, will be safe if runners-up contenders Mohammedan expectedly win today.
