In 75th Santosh Trophy National Football Tournament, 32-time champions West Bengal will take on hosts Kerala in the summit clash to be played at Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri, Kerala on Monday. The match will begin at 8.00 P.M.

Last night, West Bengal stormed into the final beating Manipur three goals to nil in the semifinal in Manjeri.

West Bengal had a remarkable start with Sujit Singh placing the ball past the Manipur goalkeeper in the 3rd minute of the game. Fardin Ali Molla's goal came four minutes later.

Orawan executed the third goal in the 73rd minute by hoisting a long ball towards the Manipur goal post, which confounded the goalkeeper that he completely misread the trajectory. The second half saw Manipur making sincere efforts to return to the game, but the West Bengal defence held firm.

Earlier, Kerala cruised into the final round defeating Karnataka 7-3 in the first semi-final at the same venue. For the hosts, Jesin scored five goals including a hat-trick on the trot, within a short span of 15 minutes.
