West Bengal grabbed its chances to blank Manipur 3-0 and entered the final of the Santosh Trophy National football championship at the Payyanad stadium here on Friday.
Sujith Singh (3), Fardin Ali Molla (7) and Dilip Orawan (73) scored for Bengal which will meet host Kerala in the final.
West Bengal struck twice in space of four minutes in the first half to take the wind out of Manipur’s sails. Sujith Singh opened the scoring in the third minute with a speculative 25-yard shot which bounced awkwardly in front of a diving Manipur goalkeeper Chingkhei Meitei and went in.
