It's a dream come true for these players who have never played at the national stage before this. In fact only two of the players in the squad have a full-time job.

20:57 (IST)26 MAR 2017

And THERE IT IS! Bengal's six year wait is over. Santosh Trophy is going back to the City of Joy for the 32nd time

20:53 (IST)26 MAR 2017

20:48 (IST)26 MAR 2017

The individual trophies are being handed out.

20:45 (IST)26 MAR 2017

But kudos to Goa and the people of Goa. 

The team was one of the most entertaining ones in the competition and sadly they failed to turn on the flair in the final.

But the ground was full. This goes to show the passion the people of Goa have for the game of football.

20:43 (IST)26 MAR 2017

No engravings on the trophy. Only a laminated paper stuck on the trophy. Now that is really really disappointing. These boys deserve better.

20:42 (IST)26 MAR 2017

Heartbreak for Goa yet again. The last time they hosted the Santosh Trophy was back in 1996. 

Even that time, it was Bengal, who upset the host in the final.

20:41 (IST)26 MAR 2017

The Bengal players are still dancing on the ground. And they have good reason to.

20:41 (IST)26 MAR 2017

The trophy is going back to Bengal for the first time in six years and they totally deserve it. They dominated the proceedings. Especially the extra period. And if not for Basanta Singh and his atrocious touches in front of goal, this could have finished 4-0.

20:39 (IST)26 MAR 2017

The two centre-backs Provat Lakra and Rana Gharami were brilliant as well.

Liston Colaco was totally taken out of the game. Mridul Banerjee should be proud of his work.

20:38 (IST)26 MAR 2017

The team was built from the back. Shankar Roy didn't concede a goal in 600 minutes of action. What an achievement.

20:37 (IST)26 MAR 2017

The Bengal teams is celebrating amidst stunned silence. 

20:36 (IST)26 MAR 2017

PEEP PEEP PEEP!! And that is truly the final act. The referee blows his whistle as soon as Shankar Roy kicks it.

20:36 (IST)26 MAR 2017

120 + 4' -  Goa need the ball. But their long ball goes into Shankar Roy's hands. That might be it!

20:35 (IST)26 MAR 2017

120+3' -  Manvir Singh with another attempt. This was an audacious one. Should have seen his mates in the middle.

20:35 (IST)26 MAR 2017

120+2 ' - And Basanta Singh completes his hat-trick of howlers. Faiaz with ball from the right and Basanta again fails to make contact.

20:34 (IST)26 MAR 2017

The whole stadium has gone into silent mode.

20:33 (IST)26 MAR 2017

121' - Bengal with the ball still. Basanta Singh keeps his calm and keeps possession.

20:33 (IST)26 MAR 2017

And a final substitution for Bengal. Killing off time. 

20:32 (IST)26 MAR 2017

Heartbreak for Goa. Bengal nearly seals their 32nd title.

20:32 (IST)26 MAR 2017

And that surely is the winner.

20:31 (IST)26 MAR 2017

120' - GOAL!!!  Manvir Singh scores for Bengal.

Ronald lifts in the ball. Manvir Singh takes it down and slots it home with his left.

20:31 (IST)26 MAR 2017

118' - Santu Singh with a cross from the left. But that is overhit.

20:29 (IST)26 MAR 2017

WOW! Melroy Fernandes, who is a goalkeeper, replaces Glan Martins! 

An outfielder playing with a #1 jersey.

20:28 (IST)26 MAR 2017

116' -  End to end action. Goa goes for a counter and nearly get caught at the back themselves.

Bruno Colaco comes out to thwart Manvir Singh who was closing down on a long punt from the back.

20:27 (IST)26 MAR 2017

115' -  CHANCE! Manvir Singh chests it down. But can't turn near the six-yard box. Tries to lay it off but cleared.

20:26 (IST)26 MAR 2017

If Bengal loses this, this is on Basanta.

20:26 (IST)26 MAR 2017

114' - WHAT A MISS! Basanta Singh with another howler! Ronald Singh with another great run and cut back. Basanta with another miskick.

20:25 (IST)26 MAR 2017

Two substitutions made by each team.

20:24 (IST)26 MAR 2017

113' - Substitution for Bengal - Debasis Pradhan who was a substitute himself comes off for  Sannik Murmu.

20:24 (IST)26 MAR 2017

112' -  Glan Martins with a shot. But that is well wide. Shankar Roy not troubled at all.

20:23 (IST)26 MAR 2017

111' -  Brian Mascarenhas hauled down on the left. FK to Goa!

20:22 (IST)26 MAR 2017

110' -  Glan Martins left the ball up. But that is easily headed back by Lakra to his keeper.

20:22 (IST)26 MAR 2017

109' -  Bengal again getting into rhythm as SK Faiaz gets in with some industrious running.

20:20 (IST)26 MAR 2017

108' - Goa looking much better in the opening minutes. But just as I say, Akeraj Martins gives away a foul and comes off the worst in the clash there,

20:18 (IST)26 MAR 2017

107' - Goa with a ball from the left. But Lakra clears.

20:18 (IST)26 MAR 2017

The second half of EXTRA TIME begins.

20:17 (IST)26 MAR 2017

Mridul Banerjee, the coach of the Bengal team would be ecstatic with his team. They were firm underdogs coming into the game. But have played nothing like that. They have been the aggressors and would be disappointed if this goes into penalty kicks.

20:15 (IST)26 MAR 2017

Goa have looked to hit Bengal on the counter. But haven't found much success in doing  so.

20:15 (IST)26 MAR 2017

Bengal have hit Goa with a barrage of attacks in the first 15 minutes of extra time. 

They created the best chance of the game. However, Basanta Singh, who has been the best player in the game failed to pounce on the opportunity.

20:13 (IST)26 MAR 2017

AND THAT'S IT! END OF 1st HALF OF EXTRA TIME!!
