The second semi-final in a row has also been decided in a tiebreaker. This time it was lucky, the organizer Nepal Democratic Sports Association Bagmati Province. After winning the match at Dasharath Stadium, Bagmati Sabhapati Cup reached the finals of the football tournament.
Bagmati will now face Sankata Club in the title clash. After the match ended in a 2-2 draw at the scheduled time on Tuesday, the competition went to a tiebreaker. The hero for Bagmati was goalkeeper Vikesh Kuthu. NRT, which is a strong contender for the
title, equalized the game from two goals behind, but luck did not favor the team in the penalty shootout. Vikesh, who was the 'Player of the Match', stopped the first shot by NRT's Saroj Tamang. Soon after, Sumin Shrestha's shot went out. Meanwhile, Naveen Lama scored the first goal for Bagmati. Then Fode Fofana, Rajan Tiwari and Kuldeep Karki of Bagmati scored goals.
Only Abhishek Limbu and Kritisharatna Chunju scored from NRT. Expressing his happiness at the performance of his team, Sriprakash Vaidya of Bagmati also praised his players. Vaidya, who is managing the team at the highest level for the first time in Nepal's domestic football, expressed his belief that the team can win the title in this very debut tournament. He said, "It is difficult to play the tournament by gathering the players." Sandeep Karki scored the first goal for the winning team in the 11th minute. It was spectacular. For this, the shot he made from the penalty area took a detour and took the direction of the post. Then, in the 14th minute, Seneca's Alex added the second goal. Nidon Nah Kermeh's pass from close range easily hit the post.
Both goals of NRT were in the name of Kritisharat. He scored the first goal in the 46th minute. For this he used Henry Puku's pass. Kritish himself added the second goal in the 69th minute. He converted Vivek Gurung's cross into a goal. NRT, who did well against Friends in their first match, could not repeat that in the semi-finals. In particular, captain Anjan Bista was not as effective as expected.
This game was not as expected and we conceded two goals in the beginning, so we had no chance to take control. There was no rhythm in our game," NRT coach Jeevan Sinkeman said. He agreed,
NRT's performance was not the same as it was in the first game.
"There was a lack of luster in our game," he admitted, "but I have nothing to say about the tiebreaker." He meant that luck is the most decisive factor in the penalty shootout.
