Mahindra, coached by Briton David Booth, scored nine goals and conceded six in four matches. Syed Altafuddin and Steven Dias picked up `man of the match' awards. Both are MU recruits included in place of regulars busy with the Afro-Asian Games commitments for India. Skipper Khalid Jamil sat out Saturday's final against Valencia after getting two yellow cards. The 2003 Federation Cup winner, Mahindra was nominated by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) for the Maldives event following East Bengal's inability to take part. "The heartening part about the Maldives win is that fringe players performed, doing exactly what coach Booth expected from them and as per his plans for the team. Players like Dias, Altaf, Rauf Khan, Hekmat Singh have staked their claim. A strong bench strength is vital for the NFL, played over a long duration. The Maldives win proves we are on target.''
