A high-flying Mohammedan SC were stopped in their tracks as they tasted their first defeat in the Bangladesh Premier League, going down 1-0 against newly-promted Fakirerpool Young Men's Club at the Shaheed Dhirendranath Datta Stadium in Cumilla today. 

Sardor Jokhonov struck the decisive goal in the 66th minute to end Mohammedan's eight-match winning streak. The defeat, however, did not disturb Mohammedan's position at the top of the table as they still hold a five-point lead over second-placed Abahani, who have played a match less than the Black and Whites.

Mohammedan SC were expected to dominate their way to an inevitable victory against Fakirerpool but they were stunned by the minnows, who climbed to seventh with three wins in nine matches.

Mohammedan, expectedly, dominated proceedings from the outset but they could not expose the backline of Fakirerpool and were stunned when they conceded from a counterattack against the run of play. After a few exchanges on the left flank, Uzbek midfielder Jakhonov played a smart one-two with Akobir Turaev before letting loose a powerful shot past Mohammedan goalkeeper Sujan Hossain.

Mohammedan applied constant pressure in search of an equaliser and created several chances but Fakirerpool's substitute goalkeeper Saju Ahamed stood tall to thwart at least four chances to pull off the season's biggest upset.

At the Shaheed Barkat Stadium in Gazipur, five-time champions Bashundhara Kings returned to winning ways with a 5-0 win against promoted side Dhaka Wanderers Club. Jonathan Fernandes Reis, Mohammad Sohel Rana, Tapu Barman, Rakibul Hasan and Miguel Ferreira netted one goal apiece in the one-way contest.

Bangladesh Police FC came from behind clinch a 2-1 win over Rahmatganj MFS at the Rofique Uddin Bhuiyan Stadium in Mymensingh, thanks to an Al Amin brace.

A fifth win in nine matches took Kings to third on the standings, with 17 points, while Police leapfrogged to sixth with 10 points. Rahmatganj slipped to fourth with 15 points from nine matches.
