Bukola treble fires MSC

Sports Reporter
/\lamu Bukola slotted the third hattrick of Citycell B. League to give Mohammedan a crushing 5-0 win over Muktijoddhayesterday.
Nigerian striker Bukola, who opened the scoring in
the very second minute of the embarrassingly one-sided affair at the Bangabandhu National Stadium, completed his treble on the half hour while Abdul Baten Komol scored a brace for the Black and Whites, who played their first match in ten days after a break in the previous round.
For second-from-bottom Reds, who suffered a 7-0 defeat to Mohammedan in the first-leg, it was the first second-leg loss and overall ninth in 13 matches. They have eight points, five clear of Khulna/\bahani.
Mohammedan, who won three consecutive matches for the first time in the competition after an inconsistent start, joined Brothers Union at second place on 25 points -- just one point adrift of leaders and archrivals Abahani — after 12 rounds.
Maruful Haque's side got off to a superb
start as Bukola, playing behind striking pair Robin and Komol, struck twice in the first eight minutes.
Midfielder Arman Aziz set the first goal with a low cross as Muktijoddha custodian Paul James lost the ball under pressure from Bukola. Both were on the ground but Bukola managed to slid it home.
Six minutes later, Bukola dribbled past one rival defender with a through ball from Nasir for a clinical finish.
There was no respite for the Reds and this time, Bukola was the provider for Komol, who placed the ball past James near from the six-yard box to make it 3-0 in the 15th minute for his maiden professional league goal.
With the competition all but over, Mohammedan added their fourth when Bukola pounced on a rebound after James had made a diving save on Arman Aziz's effort from the top of the box.
It was the Nigerian's ninth league goal that placed him along side Alfaz Ahmed, who got the league's first hattrick, atop the scorers' list. Arambagh's Kenyan forward Nicodemu< released by the club in the mid-season break,

"Like the Federation Cup, I also want to win the top scorer's position in the league. If the God blesses me, it would happen," said Bukola after the match adding that Mohammedan's in-house problems including salary irregularities have improved.
"We are getting better as a team and hope to do better," said the marksman.
The four-goal cushion gave Mohammedan a relaxing time on the pitch but still, they were on the hunt and Komol got his second in the 63rd minute when the young striker fired an angular drive past substitute goalkeeper Arifuzzaman Himel after meeting a cross by Nasir from the right.
Muktijoddha, who had striker Moni playing in the midfield and fullback and captain Titu as striker, created their lone chance six minutes later. Titu did well to go round goalkeeper Aminul with a through from Tajul but the makeshift striker shot wide of the open goal.
Robin and Komol came close to score in the remaining minutes but failed to increase the tally to the seven-goal mark. Mohammedan have now scored highest 26 goals in the 11-team fray.
