IND vs MAS International Friendly Football Match Live Streaming: Sunil Chhetri, who returned to the national setup earlier this month after retiring last year, will be under the scanner as India prepare to take on Maldives in an international friendly on Wednesday. This will act as a practice match before the Blue Tigers take on Bangladesh in the AFC Asian Cup qualifier on March 25, set to take place in Shillong. Chhetri who had hung up his boots in June 2024 after a glorious international career where he scored 94 goals in 151 matches for India, will be involved in the clash against Maldives, coach Manolo Marquez said a day before the match. The Bengaluru FC player is in red-hot form this season, having scored 12 goals in 24 matches in the Indian Super League and will look to end India’s winless run which has stretched over a year with their last victory coming against Kuwait in November 2023. “For sure, Sunil will play some minutes. I don’t know whether as a starter or from …

The India U20 women’s national team registered their second consecutive win in the Pink Ladies U20 Youth Cup, beating Hong Kong 1-0 at the Emirhan Sports Centre in Manavgat, Türkiye, on Saturday. Winger Sibani Devi Nongmeikapam (53’) scored the only goal of the match, in the second half. The Young Tigresses had earlier defeated Jordan U20 2-1. Though the Pink Ladies Youth Cup is for U20 teams, India’s Saturday rivals, Hong Kong, were comprised of players above the cutoff age. Goalless First Half The Blue Tigresses began the match with a certain degree of control in the middle, as Cindy Remruatpuii Colney and Kajol D’Souza dictated the proceedings. The chances, however, were few and far between. India’s best chance of the half came in the 21st minute, when forward Lhingdeikim scampered into the Hong Kong box, cut past her marker, and pulled the trigger with her left foot. Her low shot was tipped onto the far post by Hong Kong goalkeeper Lee Yi Yan. With less than 10 minutes of the first half left, Pooja …

Farukh Choudhary’s strike helps Indian team to hold Vietnam to a draw

Published by Webster

The India senior men’s national team played an inspired second half to hold hosts Vietnam to a 1-1 draw in an international friendly at the Thiên Trường Stadium in Nam Định, Vietnam, on Saturday. Bui Vi Hao put crowd favourites Vietnam in the lead in the 38th minute, but India pulled back through comeback man Farukh Choudhary’s 58th-minute goal. The last time Choudhary played for India was on October 10, 2021. Overall, India produced an all-round performance, with heroics from the defence, the attack, and the midfield. Goalkeeper and skipper Gurpreet Singh put up a stellar performance, which included a penalty kick save in the 27th minute. While Vietnam is ranked 116 in the FIFA table, India is 10 places behind them. Vietnam was on the attack from the starting whistle and was looking to pry open the India defence with quick short passes in the attacking third. Hoang Duc and Nguyen Van Toan, the two focal points in the Vietnam attacks, were combining well in their efforts to get behind the Indian defence. Hoang …

The big goal for the Indian senior men’s team is to secure a historic third consecutive AFC Asian Cup qualification in 2027. The FIFA international windows in October (against Vietnam) and November (against Malaysia) under new head coach Manolo Márquez are being utilised as preparatory matches for the all-important qualifiers beginning in March 2025. However, results do matter in these games for a simple reason – FIFA ranking points, which would determine India’s pot allocation for December’s draw for the qualifiers. After a draw and a defeat in the Intercontinental Cup last month against Mauritius and Syria, respectively, the Blue Tigers have arrived in Nam Định desperate for victory in the friendly match against the hosts on October 12. Success eluded India the last time they travelled to the southeast nation. That was in September 2022 for the Hưng Thịnh Friendly Tournament in Ho Chi Minh City, where India finished runners-up after a 1-1 draw against Singapore and a 0-3 loss to a Vietnam side coached by Park Hang-seo. Ten players who have made the …
