Answer- D
Kerala has added another national football trophy to their collection by winning the National Beach Soccer Championships. They dominated the final, defeating Punjab 13-4 at Dumas Beach, Surat. In the earlier third-place game, Delhi defeated Uttarakhand 3-1.
The final match was a rematch of the group stage encounter, where Punjab had narrowly defeated Kerala 6-5. However, in the championship game, Kerala took control right from the start and dominated until the very end.
Kerala's captain Kamaludheen set the tone of the match, scoring a goal from the right wing just 24 seconds after the kickoff to give his team an early lead. This was just a glimpse of the goal-scoring frenzy that was to follow, delighting the spectators who had gathered to watch the final.
