Hamza Mujtaba (15th), skipper Deepak Thakur (48th) and Didar Singh (55th) scored for IOC while Army’s response came from Pawal Lakra (4th) and Chandan Aind (65th).
The match seemed to be a fight between equals right up to the half-time after which the competition got hotter by the minute.
The final few minutes saw frantic attempts by both teams to firm up their positions in the match. With the aplomb shown in the earlier matches too, former Indian star Thakur led IOC from the front, finally guiding them to victory.
As the winning team, IOC took home the prize money of Rs.5 lakh, and runners-up team Army XI received Rs.2.50 lakh. (IANS)
