Farashganj recorded their biggest ever victory in the top flight of domestic soccer when Enamul Haque fired five goals in the riversiders' 7-0 thrashing of visiting Khulna Abahani in the Citycell B. League yesterday.
The Khulna outfit, who arrived in Dhaka in the afternoon by a detour after being halted for hours at the river port due to heavy fog, continued their miserable run and slumped to 14 successive defeats after beginning the league with a victory.
Farashganj toppled their old-Dhaka rivals Rahmatganj in the table with 20 points, thanks to their fifth win, while Khulna Abahani remained bottom of the table with three points.
Farashganj began brightly in the embarrassingly one-sided affair at the Bangabandhu National Stadium but their marksmen failed to use the series of chances against the understrength side, who had conceded 41 goals in their previous 14 outings.
Enamul, discarded from the national team after his first tour last year, finally broke the deadlock in the 36th minute when he shot home inside from the box off a deflection of Khulna defender Shahin.
Leading 1-0 at the break, Farashganj opened the floodgate after resumption when Enamul helped on a pass by Kenyan player Dominic to Shahed who doubled the lead in the 48th minute.
Enamul then sped past Shahin with a through from Rajib to score his second in the very next minute and completed the sixth hattrick of the league in the 62nd when he beat an offside trap to finish a move that began from their own half.
The others to have scored hattrick in the ongoing competition are Sheikh Russel veteran Alfaz, Brothers' Kenyan striker Nicodemus who got the treble in the first leg while playing for Arambagh, Mohammedan's Nigerian goal poacher Bukola, Emily of leaders Abahani and Rahmatganj's Ugandan forward Idris. All the hattricks except the one by Bukola have been scored against Khulna Abahani.
Enamul made it 5-0 with a spectacular drive from the top of the box just a minute after completing the treble and signed off with his fifth goal, the highest by one player in a match this season, in the 70th minute when he drove in low off a Dominic backpass. Enamul now has 14 goals this season including his five in the Federation Cup.
Emily had notched four goals against Khulna Abahani earlier in the league.
Shahed's second goal made it 7-0 one minute from the final whistle as Farashganj emulated Mohammedan's 7-0 defeat of Muktijoddha in the biggest win of the season.
