Meghalaya will lock horns with Karnataka at the Santosh Trophy Final

Meghalaya will be locking horns with Karnataka at the Santosh Trophy final, and indeed it will be a mouth-watering match to see. Meghalaya’s journey throughout the tournament was also great, and they showed a great performance when they defeated the defending champions Punjab by a close score of 2-1. Primarily Sheen Sohktung’s spectacular shot that came in injury time helped Meghalaya get the upper hand against their opposition in the 76th National championship for the Santosh Trophy at the King Fahd International Stadium.

On the other hand, Karnataka secured their victory over the Services by a good score of 3-1, and they eventually ended their drought of 46 years without being in the final of the tournament. Though the match between Karnataka and the Services saw the latter team getting the first lead, however, Karnataka equalized it soon and doubled it in the 77th minute.

Little talks about the last goal from Karnataka

There had been a little talk about the last goal that came from M. Sunil Kumar, it was a free kick taken by Robin Yadav. Primarily the home defenders deflected the ball more toward the goal, and Sunil Kumar didn’t miss the chance to score and seal the victory for Karnataka. The Services certainly couldn’t come back from that position.

The AIFF President, in regard to VAR

In the match, Video Assistant Referee or VAR was introduced to the tournament for the first time with the host, with Saudi Arabia Football Federation administering this technology. The AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey said in this regard that they would introduce the technology in their domestic tournaments like the Indian Super League soon. The VAR is a costly proposition, but he is sure that the technological brains of their country can be employed to find a cost-effective solution for them.
