India goes top of the table after beating Vanuatu. Vanuatu played a high spirited game and they defended really well till the 80th minute. Sunil Chhetri was the right man at the right moment he found the net and dedicated the goal to his soon to be born baby.
Vanuatu defence stood tall, especially the captain Brian was an absolute tank in-front of the goal. The attacking line of India played really well however was unable to finish off the chances they created.
As it happened:
Last two minutes and India are going all in and Vanuatu is not backing down either.
Sunil Chhetriiiii who else!!!!! The man the myth the legend! and the celebration goes beyond footbal. Chhetri dedicated the goal to his baby who is on the way.
That could have been the first goal if not for the towering presence of Brian, captain of Vanuatu. The ball goes out for a corner, it's deflected again and goes out for another corner. It's cleared.
Massive support from the stands, not full house but the crowd is loud!
The substitutes are already showing their impact, India starts to move the ball well around the midfield and Chhangte brings a break of energy. Much better from India. Just around 30 minutes to get a goal.
