31' - Chhetri, YELLOW CARD!
Sunil Chhetri has been shown an yellow. He tries to win an aerial ball, but bangs the Cambodian defender from behind. He is pleading to the referee, who just lifts a yellow out of his pocket.
Chhetri is not pleased with his teammates either. He had to run all the way from the box to almost the half line to win that. Where are India's midfielders?

26' - Seing Chantea's shot goes wide
Seing Chantea recieves a good pass just ahead of the box towards the left. He dribbles past an Indian defender and shoots. That well above the post. It was so high that Gurpreet Singh Sandhu did not even bother to jump.

22' - Chhetri misses!
A beautiful cross from the right flank from Suresh Singh Wangjam. He finds Chhetri to perfection, but the Indian skipper fails to guide the header in. That's a chance missed and Sunil Chhetri has his hands cover his face.

18' - Long shot from Liston
Sunil Chhetri does all the hardwork of stealing the ball and passes it to Liston. The Indian skipper runs ahead for a return pass, but to his disappointment Liston has taken a long shot. Does not get the required power or elevation. He has just gifted away the possession here.

14' - SUNIL CHHTERI SCORESSSS!
As easy as it gets for Sunil Chhetri. He goes full throttle to the left of the keeper. The Cambodian guessed it right, but that shot was just too powerful to be stopped.
INDIA TAKE THE LEAD!
IND 1-0 CAM

12' - PENALTY, INDIA!
Liston Colaco runs in from the left. He seems to have been blocked, but he runs past two defenders. The third one attempts a sliding tackle and gifts India a penalty.

11' - Poor shot from Roshan Singh
India keep passing the ball around for a minute just outside the box. Roshan Singh receives the ball and sends all that hardwork to waste by a wayward shot from outside the box. Unnecessary.

9' - Good stuff from India
India are pressing and they are pressing forward well. The Cambodians are happy to sit back and defend. Occasional long passes from the visitors to create chances, but everything well in control for India. Good stuff from India.

3' - YELLOW CARD, JHINGAN!
This is poor from Sandesh Jhingan. First a very dirty tackle and then argues with the referee on that freehit given to Cambodia. Gets a Yellow card in return and we are just 3 minutes into the contest.

2' - Akash Mishra's goes straight to keeper!
A good move created from the left flank by Liston Colaco. Akash Mishra takes it forward with a good run, but it cross goes straight to the Cambodian goalkeeper. Good start from India.
