Wanderers show character

SPORTS REPORTER
Out to prove a point, a depleted Moulvibazar Wanderers defending champions Mohammedan Sporting Club to a 1-1 draw in an important Nitol-Tata National Football League match at the Barisal Stadium yesterday.
Playing without their inspirational Nigerian recruits Bode Baba Lola and Ladi Baba Lola, the unheralded Sylhet outfit fought neck to neck with their illustrious opponents to snatch a point.
The Baba Lolas were serving a suspension imposed by the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) for complications regarding the validity of their International Transfer Certificates.
But the team from Moulvibazar, who felt that they were roughly treated by the BFF, walked out of
the ground with a psychological victory. The surprise package of this year's NFL, also went atop the Group A table on goal difference. Moulvibazar have scored ten goals against Mohammedan's eight. Both teams have seven points.
A packed house witnessed the exciting match played on a soggy pitch caused by incessant rain.
Mohammedan drew the first blood in the 36th minute.
National forward Farhad, the hattrick hero of Mohammedan's first game, put the black and whites in the lead shooting home a rebounder after a powerful drive from his striking partner Kanchan slipped out of the grasp of Wanderers' custodian Mohammad Ali.
Mohammedan were unlucky not to get atleast another goal despite dominating the first 45 minutes. Kanchan was the main culprit muffing three clear chances.
As the ground got heavier with the passage of the match, the two teams were left struggling for
control in the second half. The unpredictable pace and bounce however played a major part in creating Moulvibazar's equalizer in the 70th minute.
With the Mohammedan defenders desperately trying to clear the ball from the danger zone, it some somehow got stuck in a puddle from where Mithu took a first time shot past a stranded Mohammedan goalkeeper Nizamuddin into the net.
Mohammedan's hard-working midfielder Arif Khan Joy was later adjudged man of the match.
