Mohammedan Sporting sailed past a youthful Jamshedpur FC side 3-0 in a Group A league match to pick up its second successive win of the 131st edition of the Durand Cup, at Kishore Bharati Stadium on Sunday.
M. Faslurahman, Abhishek Halder and Sheikh Faiaz found the target once each to help Mohammedan Sporting collect the full quota of points. The local side tallied six points to reach top of the current group standings and remained one of the favourites sides to claim a quarterfinal berth.
Mohammedan Sporting dictated the pace of the action in the opening half and earned the goal off a corner in the 38th minute. Sheik Faiaz set a nice floater in the box that was met with a sharp header from the tall defender Sairuatkima. Jamshedpur goalkeeper Mohit Dhami managed to block the attempt but Faslurahman was lurking close by to nod the rebound home.
