Mohammedan, Police stage brilliant fightbacks
Mohammedan came from a goal down to bet Brothers Union 2-1 and registered their second successive victory in the Bangladesh Premier League at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
Joseph Nur gave winless Brothers a first-half lead but Amir Hakim Bappy and Suleymane Diabate scored in the second half to help sixth-placed Mohammedan to an excellent fightback.
In the day's first match of the day, Bangladesh Police FC displayed a dazzling performance in the second half as they came from three goals down to hold Chattogram Abahani to a 3-3 draw.
Following some erratic performances, Chattogram Abahani sniffed victory with a comfortable 3-0 lead early in the second half, but they faced tremendous pressure later from Police to concede three goals in the last 35 minutes.
In fact Police had gotten off to a great start in the match and enjoyed better ball possession but they could not make any inroads inside the Chattogram Abahani defence.
The port city outfit went for the lemon break with goals from Nixon Guylherme and Rakib Hossain, and the latter made it 3-0 after availing goalkeeper Mohammad Nehal's fumble in the 49th minute.
However, Police showed character and pulled back three goals, with Fredric Pooda and Lancine Tour heading two corners home while Ballo Famoussa converted a spot-kick three minutes into the stoppage time to snatch a point from 10-man Abahani.
