Imphal, May 29 2019:
United Veterans Kolkata (UV Kolkata) will be meeting Cyclone-A, Thangmeiband in the final of the 21st Challenge Cup Veteran Football Tournament final as the former saw off NCVFC, Churachandpur by a slender 1 -0 margin in the second semi-final match today at Mapal Kangjeibung.
Both the teams were evenly poised throughout the match and shared almost equal amount of possession and scoring chances but lack of accuracy and intensity denied them from making the headway until Saikat Das struck late in the first minute of the stoppage time (60'+l') to earn UV Kolkata the final berth.
Saikat Das who hit the winner also walked away as man of the match.
NCVFC will take on KVFC, Konthoujam tomorrow in a fight for third place tomorrow at 3 pm .
