Hyderabad/Kolkata, Sep 19 (UNI) In spite of a valiant effort, the young Hyderabad Football Club (FC) side were knocked out of the Durand Cup after their 2-1 loss to Services side Army Red Football Team in the final group stage game at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Sunday.
Going into the game needing a win, Shameel Chembakath’s side started the game with confidence but went a goal down to Liton Shil’s strike (33’) at the half-hour mark.
But the resilient youngsters made sure they restored parity just a couple minutes later as Koustav Dutta (35’) pulled out a long ranger and found the bottom corner to bring Hyderabad FC back into the game.
