East Bengal lift FFederation Cup via tie breaker, Shillong Lajong FC 2nd Top
GUWAHATI, Jan 3: East Bengal lifted the 31st Federation Cup Soccer Tournament defeating a spirited and depleted Shillong Lajong FC by 3-0 via tie breaker at the Nehru Stadium here today. The scheduled and extra time of the game was ended as goalless draw. Yusif Yakubu, Nirmal Chettri, and Sanju Pradhan scored in the shoot-out to give East Bengal their 6th title. Lajong failed to convert any of their three penalties, thanks to fantastic performance of the goalkeeper of East Bengal Abhra Mondal who saved all three shots of Lajong to leave the Lajong fans disappointed. Shillong Lajong, who were forced to start without Daniel Bedemi and James Giblee due to suspensions, brought in Zohmingliana and Roland in place of them, while East Bengal had to make one change, bringing back Harmanjot Khabra in place of the injured Alvito D'Cunha. The final match of the tournament saw huge turn out and according to the official information more than 20,000 spectators were in the gallery when the game was going on. The atmosphere in front of the RG Baruah Sports Complex today could compare with an ODI match as people, most of Shillong Lajong FC supporters, had to wait for a long time in the queue to enter inside the stadium. The match started with both sides trying to figure each other out, but East Bengal looked a little bit composed in the later part of the match. Yakubu, East Bengal striker, was the live wire in the game and alone created many opportunities for his side capitalizing the physical advantage. The defence of Lajong was very cool in the game and repaired the damage, occurred due to absence of Bedemi, nicely. Same could be told on the Kolkata's outfit also whose defence was rock solid today and Abhra Mondal didn't have to do much work below the bar during the scheduled and extra time. East Bengal came close to score twice in the first half and in both the occasions it was Harmanjot Khabra who wasted the opportunities. The Lajong strikers Tuboi and Gurnung, who were instrumental on the team's win in the other matches, were however didn't get too much opportunities in the game as their midfield wasn't up to the mark today. Bhaichung Bhutia, who took the ground as a substitute in the second half, didn't get chance to do too much in the match as Lajong never provided free spaces in the game. Meanwhile, there was absolutely no doubt in anybody's mind who would be the real heroes in today's match and they were the two goalkeepers of either side Gumpe Rime and Abhra Mondal. Gumpe Rime, who was under the bar of Shillong Lajong goal, was superb and it was only because of his fantastic performance that saved Lajong to concede a goal in the schedule as well as extra time. On the other hand, East Bengal goalkeeper Abhra Mondal did the tricks for his team in the penalty shoot out saving all three shots taken by Lajong FC. The first half of extra time saw Lajong in a more comfortable zone but in the second half of the extra time it was East Bengal who looked more dangerous than their opponent. In the shoot-out Yusif Yakubu calmly slotting home, but Anil Gurung had his spot kick saved by Abhra Mondal to give the Kolkatans the advantage. Gumpe Rime almost saved the second shot of East Bengal taken by Nirmal Chettri but the ball went into the net ricocheting his hand. Samson took the second shot of Shillong Lajong but that too was saved wonderfully by Abhra Mondal which means East Bengal took a 2-0 lead. If Harmanjot Khabra converted his shot than it could have settled the match in favour of East Bengal as Kryshan Lyngshing's weak penalty was later saved easily by Abhra Mondal. But surprisingly Khabra's shot went outside the ground hitting the bar.  Sanju Pradhan then stepped up to score the winning goal and it also helped East Bengal to end the drought of title which lasted almost for two years. The Federation Cup title also helped East Bengal to qualify for the AFC Cup. The Assam Governor JB Patnaik and Meghalaya Chief Minister DD Lapang along with several Assam Ministers were present in the ground to witness the final. Though Shillong Lajong today lost the final but star striker of East Bengal Bhaichung Bhutia praised their performance. Talking to the media just after the final Bhaichung said, "They played really well and it was because of their good performance that we couldn't settle the game in favour of us in the scheduled time." On the other hand, the coach of Shillong Lajong FC Stanley Rozario said, he is satisfied with his boys' performance in the final and the coach also felt that the good performance in the tournament would help his side to play with more confidence in the I League matches. East Bengal received Rs 12 lakh for winning the Federation Cup title while Shillong Lajong FC were richer by Rs 7 lakh. THE SENTINEL
