National discard forward Nabib Newaj Jibon scored in his third successive match in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) to help Rahmatganj MFS register an emphatic 3-1 win over Brothers Union at the Birshreshtha Shaheed Flight Lt Matiur Rahman Stadium in Mymensingh today.

Jibon, who joined the Old-Dhaka outfit this season following a long stint at Abahani, struck in the second half in between a brace from Ghanaian forward Boetang.

Jibon's strike restored Rahmatganj's lead after Brothers' Senegalese recruit Cheikh Sene had cancelled out Samuel Boateng's second-minute goal by converting a penalty in the 70th minute. Boetang scored his second in the stoppage time of the second half.

"I was a victim of bias in Abahani and did not get many matches last season," Jibon told The Daily Star about his goal-less run for Abahani in the BPL last season.

"This season the coach has given me more minutes by drafting me in the starting eleven. I am also more focused on helping my club by scoring goals. That's why I am getting goals regularly," he added.

Jibon came off the bench in their league opener against Fortis FC but could not find the back of the net. He struck twice in the following match against Chittagong Abahani and netted one against Bashundhara Kings before scoring once against Brothers today.

With four goals, he is now second in the goal-scorer's list this season, one goal behind joint top-scorers Al Amin of Police FC and Souleymane Diabate of Mohammedan SC.

"My target is to return to the national football team," said 34-year-old Jibon, adding that age is just a number and only fitness and performance matters.

Meanwhile, Fakirerpool YMC tasted their maiden victory in the professional football league with a 2-0 win over winless Chittagong Abahani in Mymensingh while promoted Dhaka Wanderers Club also secured their first point by playing a 1-1 draw with Fortis FC at Kings arena.
