Santosh Trophy

Riyadh (Saudi Arabia): Karnataka ended a 54-year-old title drought in the 76th National Football Championships for the Santosh Trophy when they defeated ...

Karnataka made it 3-1 when Robin Yadav planted a superb free-kick into the top left corner for his sixth goal (four freekicks, one penalty, one field goal) of the tournament. Meghalaya had one chance to reduce the margin but Donlad Diengdoh’s shot off a superb attack was deflected out by a defender. Karnataka played a tactically superior game and caught Meghalaya on the wrong foot off counterattacks.

Santosh Trophy 2022-23 came to an end on 4th March with Karnataka winning it. Here are five players who deserve the attention of top clubs.

But the 27-year-old did well to prove his critics wrong, and scored two goals in the competition, one coming in the form of a late winner against Punjab, and another in the final against Karnataka. Ronaldkydon Lyngdoh had a campaign to remember, as he was the top-scorer for Meghalaya in their historic run, which saw them finish second in one of India’s most prestigious football competitions. The youngster also scored two incredible free-kicks in the knockouts – one against Punjab in the semi-final and the other in the final against Meghalaya. Meghalaya’s man in between the sticks, Rajat Paul Lyngdoh had a great competition. The winner of the player of the tournament award, Karnataka’s Robin Yadav was surely the biggest star from the Santosh Trophy 2022-23. But this triumph didn’t come to the ‘Mysorians’ easily, as they had to work their socks off, and leave behind some very difficult teams like Kerala, Services and Meghalaya to reach this feat.

Sheen, who had scored the winner to guide Meghalaya to the final, pulled one back at the hour-mark when Donlad Diengdoh left the ball with a nice dummy on a Banskhemlang Mawlong cross to leave the former with the chance (2-3). The Karnataka wing-back fired an angular half-volley that deflected off the leg of a Meghalaya defender to find the net.

Their defenders would find it hard to explain why Sheen was left unmarked in the box and the Meghalaya striker took full advantage of it to pull one back. P Christopher Kemei took a long ranger that didn’t have the required sting, but the ball somehow managed to make its way into the Punjab goal. The battle for third place between Services and Punjab was no cliff-hanger as the former struck once in each half to win the game 2-0. The state that won the trophy beating Bengal in the final after two days of intense struggle was Mysore, not Karnataka. Punjab did make some forays in the rival half, but the second goal at the hour mark broke their resistance. The backlash was sharp and quick.
