It was that kind of a day for his team, which was hammered 1-6 by Karnataka in the Santosh Trophy South Zone qualifiers at the Corporation Stadium on Friday. The win also helped Karnataka become the first team from the zone to advance to the final stage of the national championship, to be held in Mizoram early next year. Off an excellent pass from near the left corner flag by Naorem Roshan Singh, Dip Majumdar came up with a splendid drive to the far post.
