In the 17 minute, Adama Suso opened the scores capitalising on a mistake by Tababi\u2019s Malick Jobarteh.<\/p>\n<p>The zone\u2019s best player this season Fernando Preirra, was on target again fetching Bilbao\u2019s second goal that went unreplied.<\/p>\n<p>However, Preirra, the hero, turned to a villain when he was sent off for a second bookable offence after removing his shirt in celebration. But with two goals in their kitty, Bilbao did not regret his sending off.<\/p>\n<p>Tababi, who were reeling from the loss of their talisman and the zone\u2019s leading goal scorer Talla Ndow, sent off with a straight red card in their semifinal clash against Badala United, could not salvage the day and were humbled to respected runners up place.
