The final of the DDL Sports Bhagath Cup all-India football tournament will be an all-Goan affair, between Vasco and Sesa, at the Maharaja’s Stadium here on Wednesday evening, here at Cochin
Vasco defeated Kerala champion State Bank of Travancore, Thiruvananthapuram, 2-0 in the second semifinal on Tuesday night while Sesa had made the final yesterday.
Nigerian Koko Sakebu opened the tally in the 22nd minute after receiving a cross from Sibra Narsra from the right while the second came off a penalty.
Koko appeared set to score the team’s second goal towards the end of the game and in desperation, Jean Christian, the SBT goalkeeper, appeared to hold the Nigerian inside the box. The referee awarded a penalty which Vasco’s Prasanth Chakraborthy converted.
Both teams messed up many chances and while Vasco was unlucky a few times with the crosspiece coming in the way, SBT’s Rakesh and Mohammed Aslam fumbled at the finish around the 80th minute.
The final begins at 6 p.m.
