India vs Nepal - International Friendly: LIVE BLOG, News, Scores, Updates and Result
Same old story!
After a decent start when they were trying to play quick passes and carry the ball forward, India has fallen back to its old habit of giving away possession cheaply.
Nepal gaining in confidence.
19' Nepal 0-0 India
BIG chance missed by Nepal!
A terrible kick from Amrinder Singh falls straight to a Nepali feet in midfield. The attempted shot takes a wicked deflection and lands perfectly for Manish Dangi who slips and fluffs his line from inside the box.
Close shave for India!
14' Nepal 0-0 India
Apuia dictating play..
Apuia in the middle of the park is trying to initiate attacks by spraying passes towards either flank where Bipin and Manvir are ready to make late runs. These three will be important today.
8' Nepal 0-0 India
Steady start to the game!
Indian players are trying to establish their dominance on the ball in the early minutes. But Nepal is quick in closing down passing channels for now.
And we're off!
The game kicks off in front of a packed crowd at the Dashrath Stadium in Kathmandu.
Interesting choices....
With Brandon going out, it seems like captain Sunil Chhetri will be employed in a slightly different role today, that of a second striker or an advanced playmaker.
Amrinder finally gets a game in goal too, will be interesting to see how he fares.
Team News!
A number of changes as Igor Stimac introduces some new faces. First start for young Seriton Fernandes and Rahim Ali..
