Federation Cup



Salgaocar defeated East Bengal 3-1 in the final of the 33rd Federation Cup at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Thursday, to become the first non-Kolkata club to win the premier domestic cup competition in Indian football since Mahindra United in 2005.

Early goals from Edeh Chidi and Francis Fernandes gave Salgaocar a 2-0 lead but Alan Gow pulled one back for the Kolkata giants after converting a penalty, which was awarded controversially. East Bengal tried to come back in the second half but Ryuji Sueoka netted the third to ensure Salgaocar's fourth Fed Cup title.
