Asian Games: India suffer 1-5 defeat to China- Highlights
14' Chhetriii!
A near miss for India! Sunil Chhetri had a golden opportunity, but his shot sails just over the bar.
10' Offside!
A sigh of relief for Team India as the offside flag saves them from a potential heart-stopping moment. Tan Long seems to be a constant threat, running into the box with intent.
6' Gurmeet with a save!
A close call for China as their number 10 gets a free header, but Gurmeet denies them with a fantastic save!
Kick off!
Let's go Blue Tigers! Against all the odds, after a 9 year hiatus Indian football has kicked off its game against hosts China in the Asian Games. China in their orange kits are playing from left to right.
India are the third most successful team in the competitions history!
Gold Medals - 1951, 1962
Bronze Medal- 1970
