With this win, the Indian team’s hopes of qualifying directly in the third round of the Asian Qualifiers have increased. The top 3 ranked teams in the group table will qualify directly for the third round of the Asian Cup Qualifiers. However, the team is already out of the race to qualify for the World Cup 2022. After opening the team’s account in the 79th minute, Chhetri scored another goal in the last moments (90+2 minutes) to ensure a 2-0 victory for the team in this Group E match.
Chhetri’s performance
In the second half of the match, Ashiq Kurunian’s cross was converted into a goal by Chhetri making a brilliant angle from the header, which gave Indian coach Igor Stimac a sigh of relief. Chhetri didn’t stop there at the Al Saad Stadium here as he scored his 74th international goal with a brilliant last-minute pass from Suresh Singh into the goal post and ensured three points for the Indian team.
The Indian team was dominant in the match from the beginning, but after falling behind by a goal, the Bangladesh players retaliated. Bangladesh’s team could not score a goal but it gave India an opportunity to take the lead, which Chhetri took full advantage of. Chhetri has the most goals in international football after Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal. Apart from this win, the team’s account includes three losses and three draws. India now has to play its last league match against Afghanistan on 15 June.
