Principal Correspondent

NEW DELHI: Bilal Ahmad netted twice as Jammu and Kashmir Bank stunned Oil India 2-0 to make it to the final qualifying round of the Durand Cup football tournament at the Ambedkar Stadium here on Tuesday.

Bilal struck an opportunistic goal in the 38th minute on a move created by Emmanuel Nnamani and Showkat Sultan.

The bank team then played to defend its lead throughout the second half, before Bilal earned a spot kick when he was brought down inside the penalty area by Oil India goalkeeper, Jitu Chetry in the 82nd minute. Bilal himself took the penalty and made it 2-0.
