Brothers pip MSC
Brothers Union stunned Mohammedan SC 1-0 in their Manyavar Bangladesh Premier League encounter at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
Haitian striker Augustine Walson separated the two sides five minutes from time, condemning the Black and Whites to their second consecutive defeat while taking his side to fourth position with seven points from four outings.
Mohammedan, who came into the match on the back of a 1-0 defeat against Sheikh Russel KC, were helpless against the pace of Brothers' foreign striking duo from first minute to the last.
Walson and Nigerian Kester Akon exposed Mohammedan's backline several times before Walson broke the deadlock in the 85th minute with a side-volley after Akon was denied by Mohammedan goalkeeper Mohammedan Nehal, who had earlier thwarted two efforts from Walson and Imtiaz Sultan Jitu.
In the day's first match, Rahmatganj MFS notched up their maiden victory after inflicting a 2-0 defeat on neighbours Farashganj SC, who have suffered defeats in all three matches so far.
Rahmatganj, who had held Abahani to a 2-2 draw before suffering a 1-2 defeat against Sheikh Jamal DC in their first two matches, took a 2-0 lead within the first half.
Nigerian forward Gideon Solomon put Rahmatganj ahead after dodging past two defenders in the 14th minute while Nurul Absar scored with a brilliant angular shot in the 33rd minute to ensure their maiden victory.
