India, who had the lion’s share of possession missed many chances through the match. However, things took a turn in the last 12 minutes for Igor Stimac’s men with Sunil Chhetri finding his goalscoring touch. The first one was a header off a deep cross by Ashique Kuruniyan from the left flank. The second came in stoppage time — a well directed shot to the top corner from inside the box.
With the 2-0 win, India move to the third position in Group E standings.
