' brace was enough to see West Bengal claiming their record 30th Santosh Trophy
title, edging past Punjab 2-1 in the grand finale played at the Salt Lake Stadium
at Kolkata. The hosts came back strongly after trailing by a goal to outclass the Jaagir Singh coached side. The hero of the final was no doubt Chirag United midfielder, who score a goal in each half to seal the match in style.
Bengal looked better side right from the word go and took an attacking approach, but were missing their two key strikers and it was clearly making things difficult for Coach Shabbir Ali. Tarif Ahmed
struggled and was substituted at the half and hour mark. Bengal could have scored in the 19th minute, but to their despair, a Gouranga Dutta
right footer hit the woodwork.
It was Punjab who, in spite of a cautious start, took the lead in the 31st minute through Balwant Singh
, before his right footer was brilliantly saved by Abhra Mondal
two minutes back. Bengal was not to throw in the towel and pulled one back at the stroke of half time, with Denson
heading in a Snehasish Chakraborty
corner kick in the near post.
The half time score read 1-1 with both teams leaving the match wide open. Bengal continued their good run and their hard work was finally paid, when Denson
once again scored, with his 25 yard scorcher, leaving the Punjab goalkeeper Paramjit Singh
stranded before hitting the woodwork and rolling inside in the 76th minute.Punjab tried hard in search of the equaliser, but Bengal successfully held their one goal advantage to mark their 30th Santosh Trophy title.
