Do you remember the name Syed Jamol? At one time he was a player of Manang Marsyangdi. And Abdul Aziz? He played for Jawalakhel Youth. Aziz is now a coach. Jamol is still playing. They formed a team by gathering reserve players from Uzbekistan's Super League club Navbahor.
Name it, Black Bulls. This team is now in Nepal. It won the Aha Rara Pokhara Gold Cup football title in Pokhara.
In the final held at Pokhara Stadium on Saturday, this Uzbek team defeated the 6-time champion Nepal Police Club and became the second foreign winner. In the year 062, African United was also champion in Pokhara. Neither this African champion is a club, nor is the current Black Bulls an official team playing in any league. This is just a group of some smart players. This time, the same team managed to prevent Police from winning Aha Rara for a record seventh time.
Police who missed out
Police played 11 finals under their own control. The Black Bulls did not play well for the first time in the competition. Therefore, the poor performance of the police in specific modes was more responsible than the good performance of the Black Bulls for being defeated in the final. In the 40th minute of the game, Zakhongir Akhmadov's shot was unfortunately turned into a goal, and the police were in trouble. Police's goalkeeper Shatrudhan Chaudhary could not control that shot.
On the contrary, that force took the direction of the post. Shatrudhan could have easily controlled the ball hundreds of times in similar situations, but this time he could not. Due to his 'school boy' mistake, the game turned in favor of the Uzbek team. This was the first goal scored by the police in this tournament.

This clearly shows how a small mistake by a goalkeeper can sometimes be very costly. Asilbek Orifjonov added the second goal in the 59th minute of the game. He badly beat the police defense line for this. The third goal went to Savkatzon Satorov. It was possible in the 66th minute. Then the police intensified their attack. In this process, a suicide goal was scored. In the 74th minute of the game, Alizon Alizonov directed the ball to his own post. This was also the first goal scored by his team. After winning the
title, the Uzbek team got 1.2 million rupees, while the police settled with 6 million rupees. Satorov of the Black Bulls was declared the best player. This is the first time that a foreign player has been selected as the best in Nepali domestic football.
