Dudu Omegbemi struck the match’s only goal as East Bengal recorded a 1-0 win over FC Goa to make the final of the inaugural Super Cup in Bhubaneswar on Monday.
After a goalless first half, the Nigerian striker Dudu breaks the deadlock in the 78th minute at Kalinga Stadium.
East Bengal now awaits the winners of the second semi-final between Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru FC.
The Kolkata side’s coach Khalid Jamil went in with a 4-5-1 combination with Dudu the lone striker upfront and Ugandan Khalid Aucho getting his first start in midfield.
FC Goa’s coach Derick Pereira fielded a 4-4-2 with Manvir Singh partnering Spaniard Ferran Corominas in the attack.
It was a scrappy first-half which ended goallessly.
The East Bengal has the better chances with a Syrian midfielder Mahmoud Al Amna missing the first real chance in 19th minute when he fails to tap in a cross from inside the box by the Japanese midfielder Katsumi Yusa.
