West Bengal 1 : 0 Goa  120' FT



120+2 '   And Basanta Singh completes his hat-trick of howlers. Faiaz with ball from the right and Basanta again fails to make contact.

118'   Goalllll Manvir Singh scores for Bengal. Ronald lifts in the ball. Manvir Singh takes it down and slots it home with his left.

115'    End to end action. Goa goes for a counter and nearly get caught at the back themselves. Bruno Colaco comes out to thwart Manvir Singh who was closing down on a long punt from the back.

114'     WHAT A MISS! Basanta Singh with another howler! Ronald Singh with another great run and cut back. Basanta with another miskick.

113’      Substitution for Bengal - Debasis Pradhan who was a substitute himself comes off for  Sannik Murmu.

112'      Ball clipped into the box by Goa and cleared.

111'      Brian Mascarenhas hauled down on the left. FK to Goa!

110'      Glan Martins left the ball up. But that is easily headed back by Lakra to his keeper.

109'      Both teams already look like they have settled for penalties.

108'     Goa looking much better in the opening minutes. But just as I say, Akeraj Martins gives away a foul and comes off the worst in the clash there,

106'    We are on in the second half of ET.

END OF 1st HALF OF EXTRA TIME!!

105'      HANDBALL? Another shot from Bengal. Huge cries of handball. But referee is not convinced.

102'    YELLOW CARD! Melvin Lobo with a wild tackle. Takes out Basanta Singh who is looking dangerous with every passing minute. Freekick on the left flank.

101'    Past the 100 minute mark and still no prospect of a goal to be honest.
100'    Finally some possession for Goa. But there is a lack of imagination in their play.
99'     Goa have settled down a bit after those early Bengal attacks.
98'      Goa trying to be too clever with the ball at the back. Poor clearance from Melvin Lobo. But Bengal can't make much of that.
96'    Long ball from the back from Bengal. Safely into the arms of Bruno Colaco. 

95'    Goa probing down the right. A long throw in. SK Faiaz with the clearance. Hits a teammate. That is painful


92'    Goa with a shot of their own. But wide! It's starting to get interesting over here in Goa.

91'     We are underway in the first half of ET. Earky Bengal and Bruno's collection.

90+3'   There goes the whistle for full-time and with nothing to separate the two teams we go into 30 minutes of extra-time.

It look like match will leads extra time

90+1'    Bengal trying to make something on the left flank. But their foray again ends on a disappointing note.

Three minutes of added time.

89'     Shaikom with a foray into the box. Pulls it back from Manvir Singh. But he has left his shooting boots back in the hotel it seems.

88'     Manvir with a shot from outside the box blazes over.

87'    Basanta Singh lays it off for FAIAZ!! But what a wayward shot on his weak left. Bad shot.

85'   Another Goa attack with a long ball but Lakra steps across for an important block.

84'    Akeraj tries to get behind the Bengal backline but his lack of pace allows the Provat Lakra to come back. Could have been dangerous.

83'    Substitution Bengal Vishal off Debashish on. Akhtar gets the ball on the edge of the box, cuts in and looks to curl one into the top corner. Bruno tips it over for a corner and nothing comes off it.

82'   Bishal Pradhan has to go out. Debasis Pradhan comes on in his place for Bengal.

81'   Looks like Vishal has gone down with some cramps for Bengal and his game is done.

80'    Pradhan down on the turf now. Cramps. Fitness will be playing a big part in the final minutes in this humid climate.

79'    Colaco fouled on the right edge of the box and Goa have a free-kick in a good position. George takes and over hits it straight out of play. Woeful.

77'     Liston with a moment of spark. Hacked down just outside the box by Santu Singh. Freekick

76'   We are getting to that time now where one goal could well be enough.


75'    Manvir Singh with a wonderful inside the box. But again, the Goan defence is on the spot.


72'    Bengal free-clipped in and cleared. Goa counter but the offside flag goes up.

71'   FK for Bengal is taken by Mumtaz. But easily chested back to Bruno Colaco in the Goa goal.

70'   Substitution Goa Colaco off George on.

66'     Rana Gharami's back pass is weak but Shankar Roy is on his toes. Clears as Akeraj closes him down.

64'    Goa trying to thread in a ball. But goes straight to Shankar Roy!

63'    Substitution for Goa. Aaron off Akeraj on.

62'    Bengal getting into the game again. Another attack down the right from Bengal. But the cross is again gathered easily by Bruno Colaco.

61'    Past the hour mark. Ball clipped in to the box. Roy comes to catch and draws a foul from the attacker.

59'   Manvir Singh gets the ball down well. But is able to do much with it. The ball rolls away and it's a GK.

58'    Brian takes the free-kick and it goes just over. That had Roy scrambling in goal.


57'   Very close but not enough to find the back of the net. Mariano Colaco's went abegging

55'    Bengal captain Gharami gets a yellow for a wild foul on Nicolau Colaco. A free kick in a dangerous position for the hosts.

54'   Both teams trying their best but the quality ha been lacking.

53'   Glan Martins held in check by Rana Gharami. Cleared away. A long throw in ensues but the Bengal defence survives.

49'   Liston Colaco finally on the ball. And he is fouled. FK into the Bengal box but is easily cleared.           
Second half gets underway. No change for any side during the changeover

And there it is Half time. The referee blows for half-time. Still goalless.

45+2'   Bengal with a shot of their own that Bruno has to tip over for a corner which is than cleared. 

45+1'  Liston with a shot from the edge of the box that blazes over the bar.

45'     Manvir Singh has been fairly successful in the aerial duels. Bengal can look to utilise him in the second half.

44'    Assumption Soares and Bishal Pradhan clash in the middle of the park. And that has left Pradhan on the ground and in a heap.

43'   Mallicks fouls Brian on the left. Free-kick clipped in and cleared.

42'    Samad Ali Mallick commits a silly foul for Bengal. Gets turned around and takes out the man.
41'   Basanta creating issues for the Goa backline again. He has surely been the best player in the half. And we still don't know why his goal was disallowed.
40'   Bengal work the ball into the box but Bruno comes off his line and collects.
38'    Basanta Singh again causing trouble down the right for Bengal. Another free kick for the 31-time champions

37'    Play is back underway and Goa are back to full strength
35'   Aaron and Peter are down for Goa and are getting treated. Aaron has caught a nasty one on the knee.

31'    Basanta Singh with another chance through the right. But again overplays the ball. And another opportunity goes astray.
25'    Goal!  Basanta Singh puts in the ball. But it's offside. And a yellow to Singh. For a reason I don't really know.

20'    The hosts are dominating possession.

19'   Glan Martins with another attack down the right. But Bengal defenders come flying in. Puts it out for a corner.


17'   Bruno Colaco with a poor clearance but Bengal can't do much with it. 

16'    Another Goa attack but Aaron loses the ball as tries to dribble into the box.

12'    WHAT A MISS! Aaren De Silva with a golden chance. Brings a flighted ball down on his chest. But totally miscues the shot.

5'      Goa start the match in style with multiple attack and good defending by WB.

1'     We have kickoff in the Final and Goa produce an attack straight from the start but the Bengal keeper collects well.
