Remember the name Syed Jamol? At one time he was a player of Manang Marsyangdi. And Abdul Aziz? He played for Javalakhel 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 has won the Aha Rara Pokhara Gold Cup football title in Pokhara.

In the final held at Pokhara Stadium on Saturday, this Uzbek team became the second foreign winner after defeating the 6-time champion Nepal Police Club. In the year 062, African United was also champion in Pokhara. Neither is this African champion a club, nor is the current Black Bulls an official team playing in any league. This is just a group of a few smart players. The same team this time managed to stop Police from winning Aha Rara for a record seventh time.

Uzvek's title journey was no coincidence. It was a title won by playing. "For me, Nepal is like a second home," Jamol said after the victory, "We are happy to come and play in Nepal." On top of that, we were able to win the title. So we are even more happy. With this victory, Uzbek football will now be discussed in Nepal as well. Will try to learn about Uzbek football. This is a big achievement for us. In our eyes, there are many talented players in Nepal. But they are technically a bit weak.'

Police who failed

Police were under their own control in the 11 finals played. The Black Bulls did not play well for the first time in the tournament. Therefore, the poor performance of the police in specific modes was more responsible than the good performance of the Black Bulls for their defeat in the final. In the 40th minute of the game, Zakhongir Akhmadov's shot was unfortunately converted into a goal and the police were in trouble. Police's goalkeeper Shatrudhan Chaudhary could not control his shot well.

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 couldn't. Due to his 'school boy' mistake, the game turned in favor of the Uzbek team. It was the first goal scored by Police in this competition. Coach Chetan Ghimir admitted that his team's position deteriorated from that time. "After that we lost our rhythm and couldn't get it," the coach said.

This shows how a small mistake by the goalkeeper can sometimes be very costly. Asilbek Orifjonov added the second goal in the 59th minute of the game. He badly outwitted the police 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 the first goal scored by the team.

achievement of potential

Police will once again be limited to runners-up, but the performance of the team in Pokhara will be an achievement of potential. Police had performed poorly in the previous three competitions and reached Pokhara. Except for two names in this team, the players were new to domestic football. Captain Ram Vaji and Shatrudhan were the only names heard. However, coach Ghimire kept motivating his players to perform well in Pokhara.

The performance of the police in the entire tournament was largely good. Ghimire will now have to give more opportunities to these players. The police team is slowly being formed. I think this team can do well in the league," said Ghimire after the match. Police also had a good start in the final. Team Arun Gaha's shot hit the post in the third minute. If this shot had taken the form of a goal, the story of the whole game would have been different.
