Kolkata, July 28 (the-aiff.com) – A 63rd minute  strike by East Bengal and Mizoram striker Beikhokhei was enough to send five times champions, Kerala home in the final pre-quarterfinal match played at the Saltlake stadium here on Wednesday.

It was all to play for both the teams and the pendulum kept swinging from one side to another throughout the match.

After a pale first half, the jinx were finally broken by the East Bengal youngster who has been in resounding form in the tournament.

Mizoram now joins Delhi, last year semi-finalist Tamilnadu and runners up West Bengal in Group B, while Group A consists of defending champions Goa, Services, Karnataka and Punjab.
