KARACHI, Oct 12: After having lost five continuous matches, underdogs Baloch Mujahid seem to be back with a vengeance after the Eid holidays as they beat the former league toppers Karachi Kickers 4-1 in the KASB Premier League Football tournament at the CDGK Stadium on Saturday.

In another match, Sharafi Mohmmadan were awarded a walkover when their opponents Shahzad Mohammadan failed to show up on time.

Omar Bakhsh scored two and his fellow strikers Taj Mohammad and substitute Fahim Abbas scored one goal each.

Left winger Irfan Junejo scored the lone goal for Karachi Kickers.

The win gives Baloch Mujahid who, are at the bottom of the points table, their first three points, while Karachi Kickers are now placed third with 13 points.

But the second session belonged entirely to Baloch Mujahid. Their skipper Taj Mohammad led from the front by giving his team their first goal in the 52nd minute. This was followed by Omar Bakhsh’s two in the 61st and 75th minutes with Fahim Abbas sealing the fate of the match with his own humble contribution in the 90th minute.
