Martins' tricks for Dempo

Nigerian import Martins scored in the 34th, 38th and 49th minutes to record the first hat-trick in Super Cup after East Bengal had taken the lead in the 23rd minute through Penn Orji.

Dempo pocketed Rs 10 lakh for winning the match between the I-League champions and Federation Cup winners, which was normally played as a season ending tie but was deferred this year.

East Bengal took the lead in the 23rd minute after midfielder Orji’s left footer, on the half volley, from the edge of the box found the Dempo net.

Dempo soon equalised after Paul, who went for a long ball collided with with his team-mate Sunil and Martins pounced on the loose ball to slot into the empty net. Martins then took charge of the proceedings, scoring two more goals to help his team lift the title.
