Dhaka, April 5: Chittagong Abahani kicked off their KFC Independence Day Football campaign with 2-0 win over Muktijoddha in the group A at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on Tuesday.
Chittagong Abahani skipper Jahid Hossain hit the sidepost  in the 26th minute after he and his Haitian attacking partner Fabrice Noel played a one-two but Jahid’s shot returned from the sidepost.
However in the 29th minute Abahani winger Shariful Islam was pulled down in the box by Muktijoddha goalie Mamun Khan and Moroccan forward Tarik el Janabi converted the spot kick (1-0)
In the last minute of the first half Muktijoddha forward Towhidul Alam Towhid saw his left footed curving free kick rock the Chittagong Abahani crosspiece before flying out of the field.
Three minutes after the interval Chittagong Abahani winger Rubel Miah went through the same fate as his right footer ricocheted off the Muktijoddha crosspiece.
Chittagong Abahani was sitting on a two goal cushion in the 75th minute when Jahis Hossian ran through the midfield before curving a nice through pass to Fabrice Noel who made no mistake to push the ball into the middle of the net (2-0)
