#2 Salva Chamorro (Hit)

The Spanish striker scored the first goal of the match with a mesmerising volley in the 42nd minute on Wednesday evening.

Apart from that, Chamorro combined well with Nongdamba Naorem and also Joseba Beitia. The Spanish duo added Spanish flavour to their game, recreating a tiki-taka kind of experience in the ‘City of Joy.’ On top of that, he played a more responsible role for Mohun Bagan in this match, often helping out the wingers to maintain the flow of the game.


#1 Suhair VP (Hit)

Spanish coach Kibu Vicuna made two changes in the second half, and both of them proved to be vital for Mohun Bagan’s fate in the match. Suhair VP played a cameo for ‘The Mariners’ which incidentally was the difference between both teams. Just when the players started to tire their legs on a humid day in Kolkata, Suhair’s introduction injected a fresh wave in Bagan’s game.

A well judged through ball from substitute Fran Gonzalez was slotted home by Suhair, thus ensuring Bagan’s passage into the final. He completed his brace in the 112th minute to seal the deal for Mohun Bagan.
