Ashley Westwood was encouraged by the comeback of his Afghanistan side in their 2-1 win against India, with Sharif Mukhammad’s 88th penalty deciding the match.
Sunil Chhetri had put India ahead via the penalty spot in the 38th minute but Afghanistan fought back to equalise through Rahmat Akbari in the 70th minute before Sharif sealed their first win in the group.
“I was not under pressure being 1-0 down at half-time because I knew we would score,” said Westwood. “I never felt pressured or under trouble because I always believed in the boys and am glad we got the result.
“We have six points to play for, we need a few results to go for us. We are not thinking that far ahead, we’ll enjoy tonight and the next week or so and then start thinking about that.”
