West Bengal beat Goa 1: 0 in a thrilling encounter to win Santosh trophy

On 26th March, West Bengal lifted the Santosh Trophy for a record 32nd time after Manvir Singh struck in the 119th minute for a 1-0 win over Goa, extending their domination in the premier domestic football tournament.

After playing out a goalless 90 minutes, Manvir finally came good in the dying moments of extra time to leave the home crowd shocked at the GMC Stadium.

Entering the title clash on the back of some impressive outings, Manvir was kept quiet for a major part of the match but, with barely seconds to go for the final whistle, he found the target with a stunning left-footer, having received a pass from Shaikhom Ronald on the left.

Last time Bengal clinched the title was in 2010-11.
