34' - Jhingan's ball almost finds Chhetri in 1v1 situation
Narinder Gahlot is having a great game! Not so for Bryce Miranda, who gets an earful from Chhetri for holding on to the ball for too long.
Jhingan gets his head to a corner but no threats there. A minute later, Jhingan almost finds Chhetri with a long ball in front of the keeper. Almost. One last defender cuts it out.

19' - Sandesh Jhingan saves!
Sandesh Jhingan and Amarjit Singh both needed to fly in to make last ditch tackles to keep out a Myanmar attack. The crowd, a majorly partisan Myanmarese crowd, are disappointed.
