CALCUTTA, JULY 2: Custodian Bibhas Ghosh rose to the occasion and made a couple of fine saves in the tie-breaker to guide unfancied Tollygynge Agragami into the final of McDowell Cup Football Tournament stunning favourites Mohun Bagan 4-2 in an eventful semi-final at Salt Lake Stadium here today.
Tie-breaker had to be introduced as both the teams failed to score any goal during the scheduled period when Nigerian striker Chima Okerie of Mohun Bagan and Tollygunge defender Awoyemi Isiaka, also from Nigeria were shown red cards by referee Kalidas Mukherjee for getting involved in a scuffle towards the end of first-half. The extra time also remained barren.
Tollygunge will meet the winners of the other semi-final between East Bengal and Mohammedan Sporting to be held tomorrow.
