Soccer Club Feni registered their second successive victory yesterday when they condemned fallen giants Mohammedan Sporting Club to a 2-1 defeat in the Grameenphone Bangladesh Premier League at the Bhasha Shaheed Abdus Salam Stadium in Feni.

Feni came into the match on the back of a morale-boosting win against Rahmatganj, and in their own backyard, dominated the game from the very beginning. Their hard work bore fruit when striker Iqbal Hossain Bhuiyan gave the home side the lead in the 31st minute.
The Feni striker shot with his lefty foot from 15 yards out to beat the Mohammedan keeper. The first half ended with the home side leading by 1-0.
However, the Black and Whites came back in the second minute after the break as Nigerian striker Osueke Joseph took the ball from a goal mouth melee and deposited it at the back of the Feni goal.
But the home side were always threatening to score and restored the lead twelve minutes later courtesy of an Abakporo Rowland shot from the middle of the box which eventually sealed the victory for the Feni side.
Two wins in two matches lifts Feni Soccer Club from the bottom to relative safety in seventh position as they have with eight points from seven matches. Mohammedan though have much to worry about as they have only six points so far and lie a point off the bottom-placed Rahmatganj. The traditional giants have seen their season spiral down after their win in the first match. Since then the Black and Whites have lost three matches and drawn the other three.
