They were piling on the chances at this stage but Md Zahid Hossain was in inspired form throughout the game while Md Imran Hasan desperately swept another effort off the line.<\/p>\n<p>Rupinder Pal Singh\u2019s corner goal made it 2-1 on the stroke of half-time and, in the second half, India found the goals just a little easier to come by despite some superb saves from Hossain.<\/p>\n<p>Akaashdeep Singh pushed the lead out to 3-1 with a sweetly timed touch while Malak Singh did likewise in the 58th minute. Player of the match Mujtaba closed out the scoring for the tournament with six minutes left.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, India captain Sardar Singh was named as player of the tournament, receiving R200,000 for his efforts, sponsored by Hero. VR Raghunath shared the top goalscorer prize \u2013 and a Hero cheque for R100,000 \u2013 with Ireland\u2019s Alan Sothern for his eight goals in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>They both won their respective positional titles with Raghunath named defender of the tournament and Sothern getting the prize for best attacker.
