India vs Kuwait, SAFF Championship: IND 1-1 KUW at Full Time — Highlights

Full Time: India 1-1 Kuwait

Udanta Singh the star of added time in the second half with his flashy runs down the right wing. Kuwait do not manage to mount an attack in the dying stages. India will be disappointed to lose their lead in such an unfortunate matter. 

India finish 2nd in the group. The semifinals beckon, possibly Lebanon lie in wait.

90'+2 - Own goal by Anwar Ali

8 minutes of added time.

Disaster! Anwar Ali puts in an own goal after trying to clear in a lazy cross. Out of the blue, India have conceded. All the Indian players mill around Anwar after that freak of a goal.

Some more yellow cards flashed at the Kuwait bench as the match descends into absolute chaos.

India 1-1 Kuwait

89' - Red card for Rahim Alim and Al Khalaf

With two minutes left on the clock, a full-blown fight breaks out. This was always coming. Sahal falling to the ground after an alleged foul breaks the uneasy peace. The two sets of players rush at each other, as do the two benches. Rahim Ali pushes Al Khalaf on to the floor to take revenge for Sahal. 

Two red cards! Rahim Ali and Al Khalaf both sent off. That's 3 red cards for this match!

86' - Amrinder makes a great save

Amrinder pulls out a stunning save in the 85th minute! Palms away a shot drilled in after Nikhil Poojary is left for dead by a dummy in the box.

82' - Red card for Stimac again!

Stimac was always supposed to be coming to the end of his India tenure, but nobody expected he would have to watch India's matches from the stands in his last leg with the team. It's another red card for Stimac - presumably for trying to motivate the fans (?!) - at least that's what the commentators think. 

Mahesh Gawli steps in again and he is also seen in an argument with the 4th official.

78' - Jhingan to the rescue

Jhingan to the rescue! Kuwait were through...for one rare time, Amrinder prepared to go one-on-one with the advancing forward. But Jhingan swoops in like a surgeon and takes the ball away. Danger averted!

72' - Jeakson Singh in the centre of action

Jeakson Singh gets two great chances in one minute! First gets a shot blocked into a corner. Then it's him who rises above everyone else to head a corner - just like 6 years ago - but it's just wide.

Now Jeakson sets up Sahal. Shoots! Blocked into the corner. 

64' - Yellow card for Stimac

Well well, the Croatian is making a habit of this. His old fellow CB Slaven Bilic would be pleased. Stimac picks up the ball, leading to some Kuwait players trying to gang up on him. The Indians make a protective ring around the Croatian. At the end of it all, some time has been wasted and Stimac has another booking.

60' - India still look more dangerous

Kuwait test Amrinder with a direct free kick. That's a rare attack in a half where India are asserting more and more pressure. 'Let's go India!' shouts reverbrate around Bangalore as Thapa walks up to take his millionth corner of the night.

Second half begins with some attrition

Mahesh now in an argument with a Kuwaiti player. A few seconds later, Akash Mishra in an argument. A stop-start beginning to the half. India get their first long ball into the Kuwait box to get the crowd excited, but the defender clears with ease.

Still, India 1-0 Kuwait
