It was a glorious moment for the Yuva Slum Team, there were fireworks, and there was folk music and lots of prizes. After defeating Utkal Slum Stars in the Semi-Finals it seemed like a cake walk for Yuva Team which maintained a steady pressure on the Subodh Slum in the finals.
The first goal was scored in the 11th minute of the first half. With one goal in its pocket Yuva team continued to play aggressively and all Subodh team could do was to defend the onslaught of attack. The second goal was scored in the 20th minute of Second Half.
