There was no chance of winning the title. However, Mohammedan was moving forward with the great possibility of becoming the runner-up in the Bangladesh Premier League. In the end, that potential is also going to be challenged. Black and white have lost their rhythm.
As a result, their gap with the top Kings is increasing. Abahani at three is now close to touching Mohammedan. If they beat Kings on Saturday, Abahani will move level with Mohammedan in the points table.
Draw against police in previous match. Chittagong Abahani drew 1-1 on Friday. After collecting 4 points in two consecutive matches, Alfaz Ahmed’s team is 6 points behind the Kings.
Team captain and goal machine Malir Soleman Diabate could not play in this match held in Munshiganj. He was on yellow card suspension. His absence was well felt by Mohammedan.
Both goals of the match were scored in the first half. Mohammedan went ahead with Arif Hossain’s goal in the 27th minute. In the 34th minute, Nigeria’s David Okuju scored a goal to bring Chittagong Abahani back into the match. Neither team could score in the second half.
Mohammedan has 28 points in 14 matches. Chittagong Abahani is fifth in the table with 17 points in equal matches. The Chittagong team collected 7 points in three consecutive matches.
