Jhenidah owe it to Pikul

SPORTS REPORTER
A double strike by Rezaul Hakim Pikul gave Jheni-dah Mohammedan Sporting Club an outside chance of earning a place in the super six phase of the Fourth Nitol-Tata
National Football League with a 2-0 victory against Bangladesh Air Force at the Khulna Stadium yesterday.
This was the second consecutive win for the Jhenidah black and whites who pushed their collection six points from four matches.
Jhenidah Mohammedan now must beat group leaders Brothers Union in their last match in the Chittagong leg to topple Mohammedan and Sheikh Russel KC in the table.
On the other hand, a third defeat in four outings ensured the airmen's exit from the meet as they have three points.
The Khulna pitch looked like a paddy field yesterday after a heavy
downpour, especially after the first match between Chandpur Najirpara Krira Chakra and Narshingdi Kararchar Krira Chakra which Najirpara won 4-1.
The Khulna-leg will end today with holders Muktijoddha Sangsad meeting Panchagarh Brothers Union.
JHENIDAH MSC V BAF
It was very difficult for the Jhenidah black and whites to play their usual game on the water-soaked ground against an opponent who showed superior physical strength.
Fresh from a 2-0 victory against Bagerhat Unmochan Club in the previous match, Mohammedan overcame the hurdle switching to long passes and Pikul delighted them once in each half, scoring in the 38th and 11th minute after the break.
Later the young Jhenidah striker was adjudged man-of-the-match.
NAJIRPARAV KARARCHAR Syed Hossain Surat and Mamun struck twice as Najirpara outclassed Kararchar 4-1 to secure their first win in the competition.
Surat scored the quickest goal of the competition when he shot the winners ahead in the opening 60 seconds but Wasim levelled the score from a penalty in the 20th minute.
Mamun again put the Chandpur side into lead netting in the 56th minute while Surat's second goal came one minute later. Mamum sealed victory in the 63rd minute.
Najirpara increased their tally to four points from three outings while Kararchar were yet to open their account from four matches.
