Kolkata: Ansumana Kromah became the savior of Mohun Bagan as they beat Tibetan N.S.A by a last minute goal to reach the semi-final of the Sikkim Governors Gold Cup.
In the 92nd minute of the game, Kromah scored the winner to take his side home, but all the credit goes to Dipanda Dicka. After receiving a through from Raynier Fernandes, Dipanda Dicka took a shot towards the goal and the ball touched Kromah’s foot before crossing the goal line.
