India suffer injury-time heartbreak against Vietnam

India suffer injury-time heartbreak against Vietnam

Published by Webster

For nearly an hour on Wednesday night in Perth, the Indian women’s team showed exactly why this Asian Cup campaign carries so much hope. For the final seconds, however, football reminded them how cruel tournaments can be. An injury-time strike from Nguyen Thi Van Su condemned the Blue Tigresses to a 2–1 defeat against Vietnam in their opening Group C match of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026 at the Perth Rectangular Stadium. Van Su struck once in each half for Vietnam, while debutant Sanfida Nongrum marked her first appearance for India with a well-taken equaliser early in the second half. If India remained in the contest for as long as they did, much of the credit belonged to Panthoi Chanu Elangbam. The goalkeeper made several important interventions, including a sharp early stop from Nguyen Thi Van Su and a sprawling save to deny Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy, keeping the Blue Tigresses alive during Vietnam’s dominant spell. For long stretches, it felt like a point was within reach. Instead, the match ended with Vietnam …

Mohun Bagan to face Bengaluru FC in ISL 2024-25 Final after Apuia’s injury-time stunner

Published by Webster

Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) qualified for their third consecutive final of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 tonight after a 3-2 aggregate win against Jamshedpur FC in the semi-final tie. After losing the opening leg by 2-1 last week, MBSG scored a 2-0 victory over the Men of Steel in the second game of the fixture at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium tonight and are now set to square off against Bengaluru FC in the summit clash. Displaying positive intent from the beginning, Liston Colaco stretched the Jamshedpur FC defence on the right flank before hurling in a powerful cross inside the 18-yard box in the 16th minute. The ball was cleared out but Jason Cummings pounced upon the same at the edge of the penalty area and unleashed an effort that landed high above the target. Colaco and Cummings joined hands again after the half-hour mark, with the former distributing the ball to the centre from right. The striker played the ball to the left flank and a quick string of passes …

Javi Hernandez’s Injury-Time Winner Hand Jamshedpur FC 2-1 Win Over Mohun Bagan

Team Jamshedpur FC in action© X (Twitter) Javi Hernandez produced an injury-time winner as Jamshedpur FC defeated Mohun Bagan Super Giant 2-1 in the first leg of their semi-final fixture of the Indian Super League on Thursday. The Khalid Jamil-coached side held merely 26.9% of the possession against the League Shield Winners in this match at the JRD Tata Sports Complex. However, they were efficient in converting their opportunities, scoring twice from the four shots they took on target with the winner coming in from Hernandez in injury time. It was Javi Siverio (24th) who gave the edge to Jamshedpur but Jason Cummings (37th) produced the equaliser before Hernández (90 1′) took the hosts home. The two sides will next play in the second leg of their semi-final fixture in Kolkata on April 7. Jamshedpur garnered the advantage riding on the aerial prowess of Javi Siverio and Stephen Eze. The towering defender delivered a headed pass to Siverio, stationed at extremely close range in the 24th minute. The Spaniard simply nod the ball …

Raphinha, Barcelona’s injury-time hero, finding his groove under Hansi Flick

Raphinha, Barcelona’s injury-time hero, finding his groove under Hansi Flick

Published by Webster

Life is different now for Raphinha. After the stoppage-time winner against Benfica to script a famous heist, he sprinted towards a section of Barcelona fans and blew kisses their way. They threw kisses back too, and heaved wildly. He has never felt so loved in the colours of this famous shirt, and shortly declared, in the backdrop of the still euphoric fans, that “I will kill and die for this club.” This has not always been the 28-year-old’s sentiment for the club. Or those of the club’s fans. At the start of the season, he saw fans wearing his shirt number with the name of Atletico Bilbao winger Neco Williams, whose pursuit failed due to Barcelona’s cash-crunch. Raphinha was put on the clearance list, but few clubs could match the hefty price tag of 70 million Euros Barcelona had slapped on him. Or few thought he was worth that sum. There were times he longed to play for a smaller club, where he would be loved and where he would get ample playing time. “There …

Published by Webster

Noah Sadaoui’s last-gasp goal handed Kerala Blasters a narrow 3-2 win over Odisha FC in their Indian Super League match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Monday. Noah scored the winning goal in the fifth minute of the added time after both sides were locked 2-2. Blasters’ other two goals were scored by Kwame Peprah (60th) and Jesus Jimenez (73rd). Jerry Mawihmingthanga (4th) and Dori (80th) were the goal-scorers for Odisha FC. The Juggernauts are now winless in their last four games, and the Kochi-based team is unbeaten (W5, D2) in all seven games that Noah has found the back of the net this season, as the home team scored thrice in the final half hour of the game. The Juggernauts made a positive start in the fourth minute, opting for a relatively direct route to surprise the Kerala Blasters defence. Once inside the box, Dori aerially overpowered Pritam Kotal to make a headed pass for Jerry Mawihmingthanga, who was in the middle of the 18-yard area. Jerry covered a few …

Punjab FC stun Kerala Blasters FC with an injury-time winner

Published by Webster

Punjab FC stunned Kerala Blasters in their opening fixture of the Indian Super League (ISL) season 2024-25, after an injury-time winner from the Croatian midfielder Filip Mrzljak in Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium, Kochi on Sunday. Filip, who is one of the new signings of Punjab FC this season, left his mark on his debut match in the league by scoring a very important winner in an away fixture. He directed the ball into the back of the net at the near side of the goalkeeper, Sachin Suresh, from a narrow angle on what was a precise through ball from the forward Luka Majcen in the penalty box. The match however started on a sour note in the first half as none of the two teams were able to create any dangerous attacks and was also a bit sloppy in passing as well. In the first 15 minutes of the match, it was only Kerala Blasters who were trying to attack but then slowly Punjab also settled in and created a few good chances for themselves. …
