AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers: India restore on-field order against Cambodia with two-goal win

Firstpost  

The Blue Tigers did their job albeit in a slightly lackluster manner with Chhetri scoring both the goals in a 2-0 win which puts India on top of the group after the first round of games After bearing the brunt of fans across the country for the pre-match ticketing fiasco, the All India Football Federation would have been forgiven for thinking that the worst was behind them for the time being as India kicked off their Group D campaign of the AFC Asian Cup 2023 final round qualifiers against Cambodia at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan. On the field however, the Blue Tigers did their job albeit in a slightly lackluster manner with Chhetri scoring both the goals in a 2-0 win which puts them on top of the group after the first round of games. With Liston and Manvir often taking up wide positions outside the box, Chhetri was India’s only player in the Cambodian penalty area, outnumbered by two or three defenders who happily headed away Roshan and Mishra’s crosses. India’s north-western neighbours suffered a 1-2 defeat against Hong Kong and find themselves in a must-win situation to have any chance of qualifying for the AFC Asian Cup 2023.
