In the dying minutes, Hansda found an opening and ate it like a new year pie to score the goal that would make Bengal the Santosh Trophy Champions.
Robbie Hansda poaches a goal out of nowhere to make it 1-0 and probably win the title for Bengal. That was some skill to lift the loose ball past the goal keeper.
Bengal 1-0 Kerala
A solid show from the captain Sanju in the defence and is the reason why the match is standing 0-0 at the moment.
