 Guwahati: Defending champions Bengal today beat Railways by a solitary goal to set up a summit clash against Manipur in the Santosh Trophy football tournament here.
However in the second semi-final played under floodlights at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Bengal striker Budhiram Tudu struck in the 39th minute to ensure his team's entry into the final.
Tudu collected a measured cross from the right flank by Snehasish Dutta and scored from close range through a right footer.
The Railway team came close to scoring on a couple of occasions but good defending by Bengal thwarted their attempts.
