Goa has attracted great support with its performance in this football-crazy state thousands of kilometres away from its actual home. It will be counting on this fan factor to motivate itself against a strong Services in the final and regain the Santosh Trophy, the cup that will go to the winner of the 77th National Football Championship.
The title clash at the Golden Jubilee Stadium here on Saturday is expected to see a keen contest as both Services and Goa are former champions and have overcome gritty opponents like Mizoram and Manipur.
As it remains the standard of the competition has been quite high with most of the teams showing great competitive spirit with their homegrown talents.
