After defeating Usha Krira Chakra in the first semi-final in the afternoon, Mariner Youngs Club was waiting for its opponent to reach the final. Mohammedan or Abahani have to face like the final of the last season in 2021? The second semi-final of the azure-blue and white-black answered that question.
In that match of the night, Abahani defeated Mohammedan 3-2 in the final of Club Cup Hockey. Hockey fans are waiting to see another Mariners-Abahani final after three years.
The Mohammedan-Abahani fight went as it should. Despite losing the match, Mohammedan took the lead first against Abahani. Goal, counter goal. Mohammedan left the semi-finals after losing with the first goal in Abahani’s net.
In the last group match against the Mariners, Mohammedans fielded players from Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands and lost by a wide margin. The three foreigners played a little better than before in their second match but it was not enough to beat Abahani.
Mohammedan could not hold the lead for long after Amirul’s goal in the first quarter (5 minutes). Abahani returned to the match with Mimo’s field goal in the 8th minute. Roman Sarkar scored in the 32nd and 55th minutes to give Abahani a 3-1 lead. Mohamon got a penalty stroke in the 56th minute. New Zealand’s Charles Woolleys scored to make it 3-2.
Mohammedan players protested against a decision of the umpire at the end of the game and wanted a review. The players of the two teams got involved in the fight. Excitement erupted on the field and in the VIP gallery. Later the situation was normalized with the intervention of police and federation officials.
However, the players of Abahani walked out of the field in joy of reaching the final, but the Mohammedan players continued to stay on the field. Black-and-whites are adamant about applying for a review. After 20 minutes, the umpire rejected Mohammedan’s appeal after watching the video, and Abahani reached the final.
