'Great effort by our boys': Igor Stimac hails Blue Tigers

India went down 0-2 in its AFC Asian Cup opening Group B match against Australia on Saturday at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, but the Blue Tigers' resilient show impressed head coach Igor Stimac. "Great effort by our boys and valuable experience earned. We held them to a point of frustration throughout the first half and it was sad to concede such a goal after defending so many set pieces brilliantly," Stimac wrote on X on Sunday.
