Chittagong Abahani registered their first victory in the Bangladesh Premier League with a 2-1 win over Soccer Club Feni in a bottom-of-the-table clash at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
The defeat ensured Feni’s position at the bottom of the points table as they have only one point after five matches, while Chittagong Abahani placed now have four points from the same number of matches.
Chittagong Abahani forward Javed Khan opened the scoring just five minute into the match after slotting home the ball from a cross from defender Al-Amin.
The port city club doubled the lead in the 35th minute through midfielder Masuk Mia Jony. Jony headed in a cross from Abdul Hannan that went into the net after bouncing on the goal line.
Feni almost pulled one back seven minutes into the second half when Rony Islam’s powerful strike from the middle of the box was saved superbly by goalie Piaruzzaman, who punched the ball away for a corner.
Six minutes later, Piaruzzaman produced another good save to deny Wassiou Okalawon’s close-range header from a cross by Liton. The Beninese forward had another golden opportunity in the 82nd minute, but his shot from six yards out was blocked by a defender.
Wassiou finally found the net and reduced the margin for Feni in the 90th minute when he stabbed the ball into the net following a cross from Fakrul Hsan Kamran.
