KARACHI, Dec 14: Kaleemullah inspired the Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) yet again, scoring two goals in a 4-0 thumping of PMC Athletico that sent them top of the Pakistan Premier Football League table on Friday.

Meanwhile, the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) edged out Pakistan Air Force (PAF) 1-0 while Baloch FC were awarded a walkover against Afghan FC.

Kaleemullah scored twice in the first half with the other goals coming from Saddam Hussain and Mohammad Adil as the KRL showed great ruthlessness in their victory at the PMC Football Ground in Faisalabad to go top of the table with 52 points from 20 games.

The PAF remain third on 49 after Mohammad Riaz scored in the second half to give the KESC victory at the KPT Football Stadium and help them up to 45 points. Army are second on 51 points.

Baloch FC were beneficiaries of another walkover as Afghan FC failed to turn up for the game at the Noushki Football Stadium.

In the departmental-leg of the second-tier Pakistan Football Federation League, Pakistan Railways beat Higher Education Commission 2-1 while the game between Pakistan Steel and SSGC was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch in Lahore.

Saturday’s fixtures:

PFFL: Pak Steel v SSGC (FAME Football Ground, Lahore); Baloch FC v Chand FC (Rai Ali Nawaz Football Ground, Sahiwal); Young Blood FC v Green Star FC (Rai Ali Nawaz Football Ground, Sahiwal).
