32' India playing much better now!
It's great to see India finding their rhythm in the game! Holding possession, good ball rotation, and asserting physicality in the midfield can be key to controlling the pace of the match. It's a positive sign, and they'll be looking to capitalize on this momentum to create scoring opportunities.
