BENGALURU: April 17, 2016, is Day for the history books! A day to reckon as the Steelmen from the Garden City prevailed over Salgaocar FC -- courtesy two strikes from Eugeneson Lyngdoh and Seiminlen Doungel to triumph their second I-League silverware in three years.

11,000-odd fans thronged the stadium to see their Team clinching the Hero I-League once again.

If a win is what the Steelmen needed to touch the silverware, Salgaocar FC had the motivation to finish the Hero I-League in a respectable fourth position.

Bengaluru started the game from where they left against Kingfisher East Bengal last week. Attacks, which constituted mostly from the right flank, kept the Salgaocar defence on their toes throughout. They only took nine minutes to crack the visitor’s defence.

The goal came from an awful mix up from the Salgaocar defense when Karanjit Singh came out of charge to clear the ball only to find a clever Eugenson Lyngdoh at the top of the 18-yard box, in his usual calm, the medio placed the ball at the back of the net. Salgaocar FC defense could have averted the danger but the damage work had been done already.
