Nicolas’ Hat-Trick Powers Bengaluru FC To Super Cup Final

Bhubaneswar: Riding on the hat-trick scored by Nicolas Fedor, Bengaluru FC (BFC) defeated Mohun Bagan 4-2 in the semi-final held at Kalinga Stadium on Tuesday. BFC will now play East Bengal in the final to be held on April 20.

Fedor scored thrice late (63^rd, 65^th, 88^th minutes), while skipper Sunil Chhetri scored the fourth goal in the 90^th minute to seal the match in the favour.

For Mohun Bagan, Aser Dipanda Dicka scored a brace in the 42^nd and (90+2) minute, but failed to register a spot in the final.

The opening goal was scored by Dicka, who slapped the goal minutes ahead of the half-time when Akram Moghrabi found him inside the BFC penalty box from the left.

Unmarked Fedor then scored on two quick defence lapses while the third came off a penalty.
