Bengal in the Finals

Bengal is to take on the winner of the game between Goa and Tamil Nadu on 14th June, in the finals of Santosh Trophy. Today Bengal overcame Services 2-0 in a convincing display of strength. Although both the goals have been credited to Gouranga Ghosh, it is worthy of mention that the first goal came of Gouranga's head as a deflection off a powerful goal-bound shot from Lalam Puia. The second goal came from a counter attack which saw an unmarked Gouranga race through a hapless Services defence and tuck the ball into the nets.

The Bengali challenge for the trophy has grown stronger over the last couple of games. It remains to be seen who qualifies to challenge them in the finals.

Goa v. Tamil Nadu will be telecast live at 1730 hrs tommorrow on Zee Sports.
