Five-time defending champions Bashundhara Kings showed their scoring prowess for the first time this season with a 5-0 thrashing of Bangladesh Police in their Bangladesh Premier League fixture at the Shahid Rafique Uddin Bhuiyan Stadium in Mymensingh on Friday.

The Valeriu Tite-led side, who had lost two of their first four games, found their mojo back with a virtuoso performance on a cold day in Mymensingh, with Jonathan Fernandes finding the back of the net twice.

Bashundhara Kings, whose only victory this campaign was a 4-1 win against Rahmatganj, also saw Mojibor Rahman Johny, Rakib Hossain and Miguel Figueira get on the scoresheet in the one-sided affair.

This was a second consecutive win in all competitions for the star-studded side, who had beaten the same opposition 3-2 in a Federation Cup fixture on Tuesday.

The win lifted Kings to fifth position with 10 points from six matches while Police remained in seventh position with six points.

Title-aspirants Abahani, meanwhile, dropped points in a goalless draw against Fortis FC at the Bashundhara Kings Arena.

The Dhanmondi-based outfit would have caught up with league leaders Mohammedan with a victory but could not break the resistance of Fortis FC, instead enduring their first draw of the campaign alongside four wins and a defeat.

The draw left the six-time professional league winners in second place with 13 points from six matches, two behind Mohammedan who have a game in hand.

Fortis, meanwhile, moved up to sixth position with six points.

In the day's third match at the Birshrestha Ft Lt Matiur Rahman Stadium in Munshiganj, rejuvenated Brothers Union thrashed Young Men's Fakirerpul Club 3-0, with Mustapha Drammeh, Cheikh Sene and Sazzad Hossain Shakil scoring the three goals – all in the first half.

The win lifted Brothers to fourth position with 11 points while newly-promoted Fakirerpul remained a place off the bottom with three points.
