On the opposite side, Chhnagte and Bipin continued sending Sunil Very risky crosses. But Sunil Chettri blows a few opportunities!! On the other hand, Burma solidified their midfield positions, and Than Paing profited from Akash Mishra’s shoddy defence. They also attempted three attempts on goal, but Indian goalkeeper Amrinder Singh stopped a few of them with his fingertips to maintain the same score.

Bipin Singh and Lallianzuala Chhangte of India looked lively from the start, looking to make inroads into the opposition third. Sunil Chhetri had an early chance, heading Anirudh Thapa’s cross over the crossbar. The India captain had another chance with a flag kick at the far post, but the result was the same. Myanmar may have been taken aback by the sheer number of Indian supporters, but they did look to use the wings on the counter. However, local boy Jeakson Singh, who was playing a holding role, stood up to his task and stopped the attacks.

An superb goal by Anirudh Thapa gives India a 1-0 advantage at the break! India put a lot of effort into obtaining their first goal, which the Blue Tigers have now duly obtained.

Sunil Chettri had missed a few scoring chances before scoring in the 74th minute, however the assistant referee disallowed it due to his offside position. Mehtab, Chhangte, Bipin, and Anirudh’s heart-winning gameplay and combination kept sending perilous crosses to Sunil’s wards.
