Zenith Bank will on Friday at 4pm play Trust Bank in the final of the annual inter-bank football tournament at the Independence Stadium in Bakau.
Zenith and TBL eliminated GTBank and Skye Bank respectively in the semi-finals last Friday in games played at the Father Gough Sports Complex in Manjai Kunda.
Zenith Bank, who were the underdogs coming into the game against Guaranty Trust Bank, silenced their doubters after a 4-3 post-match penalty shoot-out win following a 1-1 stalemate at the end of regulation time.
Meanwhile, Trust Bank also defeated Skye Bank 5-4 in a post-match shoot-out following a 2-2 draw in regulation time.
In an Observer Sports interview shortly after the game, the head coach of Zenith Bank, Asimi Mahmud, commended his players for proving their doubters wrong.
The Trust Bank Coach, Yusupha Gomez, expressed delight and thanked the TBL management for the support to the team.
Going into the final, Gomez is very optimistic that his side can win the tournament once again.
