West Bengal Clinches 33rd Santosh Trophy Title, Defeating Kerala 1-0

Historically, Bengal have been the dominant team at this stage of the competition. However, in recent years, Kerala, who have won the tournament seven times, have had the upper hand over their eastern rivals. They emerged victorious in the finals of both the 2017-18 and 2021-22 seasons, defeating Bengal on both occasions.

Bengal thus exacted revenge with their solitary goal victory on Tuesday.
