Mohammedan Sporting advanced closer to the CFL Premier Division title with a 2-1 crucial victory against Bhawanipore in their third Super-Six match at home on Saturday. The team that will accomplish the hat-trick if they finally clinch the title garnered 38 points in their 15 matches so far. 

The team's lethal striker from Mizoram David Lalhlansanga struck the winners in the 16th and 62nd minute respectively, taking his tally to 19 goals in the League so far. 

On the contrary, Jiten Murmu reduced the margin for Bhawanipore with an excellent move down the left in the 32nd minute.

The ground, turning out slushy and heavy due to rain became quite unpredictable for both the teams. Still, Mohammedan Sporting acquired dominance, especially in the first session, dishing out decent and composed passing football and gaining a numerical advantage. Tanmoy Dhar and Lalremsangha in the midfield played the anchor role in guiding the team to penetrate the opposition's defense through their hard work.

However, Bhawanipore came back into the match after the break, riding Mahesh Singh's speedy runs down the flank. The team also split the Mohammedan Sporting defense a couple of times but failed to make the breakthrough. 

David was as usual chosen man-of-the-match and received Rs 5000.
