Paul Puts His Hands Up, India Lift The Cup

Faith, confidence, assurance and more... Subrata Paul was hero and saviour rolled into one Monday....

Here, it was Paul all the way. He had already saved one penalty in the tournament so far (in the crucial match against Kyrgyzstan which India won 2-1). His calm demeanour under intense pressure was to be seen to be believed. He proved more than a match for the favoured Syrians who had beaten India in the league stage. On Monday, they once again finished runners-up, just like they did in 2007.

Indians spot on

Subrata Paul leapt in the air and the Ambedkar Stadium erupted in joyous celebration of his amazing save. He had fisted over Hamzeh Alattouni’s shot in the sudden-death tiebreaker to secure India’s historic 6-5 victory over Syria in the ONGC Nehru Cup final here Monday.
