Full Time! Kerala beat Bengal 2-0.

Bengal might have shaded the first half, but Kerala came back a changed team in the second half. They needed to wait till the 85th minute to score, but it was always going to be a matter of time before they breached the Bengal defence. They have showed they are the team to beat in this Santosh Trophy.
