Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium: Services and Manipur reached the final of the men’s football event in the 37th National Games, winning their matches in contrasting styles against tough opponents at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, Goa on Monday.

While Services were the runaway 4-2 winners against a strong Kerala outfit in the day’s first match, Manipur didn’t have it easy against Punjab. The northeastern state, however, had the last laugh as they managed a 2-1 victory in the end. The final will be played on Wednesday.

In the Services-Kerala match, the latter took the lead in the 27th minute when Nijo Gilbert scored from the spot. Services restored parity just before halftime through Rahul Ramakrishnan, who scored again five minutes after the change of ends.
