Title aspirants Mohammedan Sporting Club maintained their lead in the Green Delta Premier Division Hockey League with a comprehensive 6-3 victory over Ajax Sporting Club in their penultimate 'Super Five' encounter at the Maulana Bhasani National Stadium yesterday.

The popular black and whites will play their last match with Abahani Krira Chakra tomorrow. The heavyweight clash will also decide who will lift the coveted title.

With yesterday's win the Motijheel side extended their tally to 32 points from 12 matches while the sky blues followed them with 31 points from same number of outings.

The result not only helped Mohammedan stay on top of the table, but also came as a huge relief as their strikers showed their real strength before the big match.

Mohammedan led the first-half 2-0 after Sarwar put his side ahead in the 8th minute with a field goal. Kamran netted another field goal in the 27th minute.

The winners kept the momentum going after the breather as Prince and Sarwar put them further in front, scoring in the 46th and 49th minutes.

After that Ajax staged a sort of comeback as they scored two goals in the 60th and 67th minutes.

But ace striker Kamal, who scored the 59th minute goal, struck again in the 68th to widen the gap. And when Ajax's Indian recruit Gopinath reduced the margin in the 69th minute, the match was all but over for them.
