| Bank clinches thriller in tie-breaker | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Feb 24 : The lucky side of Jammu and Kashmir Bank proved that they are a tough to win over, especially in tie-breaker, after the professionals defeated Jammu and Kashmir Police 5-3 in semi-finals of the 2nd Sher-e-Kashmir Gold Cup Football Tournament at GGM Science College ground, here today.
Though state’s top goal-keeper and captain, Vikram Singh could not impress the fans, yet the penalty kick experts of Bank turned the game in their favour by committing no mistake in netting all the five chances.
On the other side, Police made a bad beginning when Manmohan Singh’s kick hit the goal bar thus giving Bank a clear edge in tie-breaker.
From winners J&K Bank, Aman Bahadur Thapa, Intikhab Alam, Khalid Qayoom, Bilal Ahmed and Adil Qadir were successful in penalties. For Police, Manmohan Singh missed while Vinay Kumar, Sandeep Kumar, Ranjoy Kumar were impressive in dodging the guard at the net, Vikram Singh.
Earlier, in the stipulated time, both sides played great football coming up to the expectations of the packed crowd at the Science College ground. Since there was hardly any chances of a result on the ground with both sides turned defensive, Police played with positive frame of mind and initiated two changes in the last two minutes.
The game was so charged that it forced the centre referee to show five yellow cards, including one becoming red. Two yellow in the 56th and 78th minute automatically became a red for Shahnaz of J&K Bank. Now, Shahnaz will not be able to play the final. Another yellow card was shown to Rizwan of Bank in the 59th minute while Manmohan Singh (35th) and Vinay Kumar (73rd) of J&K Police were also punished for foul play.
FIXTURE: J&K Forest XI shall be playing against Vijay Club in semi-finals tomorrow at 2.30 pm.
