Fransa Goa came up with a spirited display to score a solitary goal victory over State Bank of Travancore in a final round Second Division National Football League match in Bangalore on Wednesday.
The all-important goal was scored by striker Van Fiel Da Silva in the 10th minute.

Even in defeat, SBT's L Thomas, Ignatius and A B Kabir excelled with their fine performance.
