India in need of a spark!
Not quite sure we'd agree with that but it is what it is. Need a big performance in the second half.

The first half comes to an end. To be fair, Nepal look more likely to score if they can sort their final pass out.
Something's got to give for Igor Stimac and India in the second period.
Chhetri header goes wide!
A good cross from Seriton Fernandes is met with by Sunil Chhetri who heads it just wide from a difficult position. Two minutes added.

Another chance missed by Nepal
Ashish Lama almost gets on the end of a brilliant cross down the right from Ayush, but the ball just about evades him. Would have been a brilliant goal.
Chance for Thapa!
A cross from the left finds Anirudh Thapa inside the Nepal box but his first touch allows the goalkeeper to come out and clear. Good opportunity missed.
