Indian Football Team Haraa!
AFC Asian Cup Qualifier mein Indian football team ko Hong Kong ne haraa diya. Match Kowloon mein hua, aur Hong Kong 1-0 se jeet gaya. Last moment mein Stefan Pereira ne goal maar ke Hong Kong ko jeet dilaai. Yeh India ke liye bada jhatka hai.
Match ka Haal
Hong Kong ko penalty mili jab India ke goalkeeper Vishal Kaith ne ball ko rokne ki koshish mein Michael Udebuluzor ko hit kar diya. Referee ne penalty di, aur Pereira ne koi galti nahi ki. Unhone ball ko seedha jaal mein daal diya. Kaith ko yellow card bhi dikhaya gaya.
Sunil Chhetri Bahar
India ke coach Manolo Marquez ne veteran striker Sunil Chhetri ko starting XI mein nahi rakha. Kai Tak Stadium mein bahut saare Hong Kong ke supporters aaye the. First half mein India ne kuch chances banaaye, lekin goal nahi kar paaye. Hong Kong ne ball par zyada control rakha.
Finishing ki Kami
India ke saath problem yeh hai ki woh chances ko goal mein convert nahi kar paate. Ashique Kuruniyan ne ek close range se shot maara, lekin woh nishane se bhatak gaya. Liston Colaco ne bhi ek achha cross diya tha. Colaco ko injury bhi hui, lekin uske baad usne ek long-range shot maara, jo keeper ne pakad liya.
Hong Kong ka Pressure
Hong Kong ne bhi pressure banaya. Unhe ek free-kick mili, lekin Asish Rai ne goal-mouth se ball ko clear kar diya. Vishal Kaith bhi beat ho gaye the. First half mein dono team ne try kiya, lekin koi bhi goal nahi kar saka.
Second Half Mein Changes
Second half mein Kuruniyan ko ek aur chance mila, lekin woh bhi goal nahi kar paaye. Phir coach Manolo Marquez ne Sunil Chhetri aur Naorem Singh ko Kuruniyan aur Brandon Fernandes ki jagah par field mein utaara. India ne second half mein bhi chances banaaye. Lallianzuala Chhangte ne Chhetri ko ek achha pass diya, lekin Chhetri connect nahi kar paaye.
Aage Kya?
Yeh result India ke liye ek setback hai. Isse pehle India ne Bangladesh ke saath goalless draw khela tha. Ab India ko aage ke matches mein achha khelna hoga.
