Salgaocar defeated East Bengal 3-1 in the final of the 33rd Federation Cup at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on 29 September 2011. Salgaocar became the first non-Kolkata club to win the premier domestic cup competition in Indian football since Mahindra United in 2005.
Early goals from Edeh Chidi and Francis Fernandes gave Salgaocar a 2-0 lead in the game.
East Bengal tried to come back in the second half but Ryuji Sueoka scored the third to ensure Salgaocar's fourth Fed Cup title.
Salgaocar coach Karim Bencherifa made four changes to the eleven that started in the semi-final against Shillong Lajong as Tomba Singh started in central midfield alongside Rocus Lamare in place of the suspended Mehrajuddin Wadoo while Khelemba Meitei replaced Rahul Kumar in central defence.
