The match ended 2–2 after full-time before Naresh’s brilliant saves sealed the win for Lami.
“It’s a proud moment for me,” said Naresh, who has been playing as a goalkeeper since childhood.
“I thank the boys for their hard work and dedication. We are into the final and I’m happy for my boys. I have been a goalkeeper since I was small, so I was confident that I would stop that penalty from Dreketi.”
