Kerala (in yellow jersey) had more chances on goal than Kolkata.

The men in yellow kept the pressure on Kolkata defense for most parts of both halves.

Kolkata's defense though managed to hold on and keep the shots out.

Kolkata forwards also made some good moves to challenge Kerala defense but regulation time in both halves did not see a goal.

The 94th minute goal though helped Kolkata win the tournament, leaving Kerala players devastated.
