The #BlueTigers are ready to battle it out in the group decider match against Kuwait at the Kanteerava stadium. India is looking to secure a place in the semifinals in the SAFF Championship 2023 with a win.
The match kicked off in a calm fashion, with India keeping the ball in the first few minutes. A long ball into the box by Md. Abdullah of Kuwait saw an attempted volley, but the ball went high and wide.
Moments later, Akash Mishra had a great chance to put the Blue Tigers ahead when he lobbed it in to Sunil Chhetri, who was just a yard away from connecting with it at the far post!
Chhetri was played through again later in the game and came under challenge from two defenders. The ball fell to an onrushing Mahesh, who shot, but his effort was blocked! Anwar lobbed it long to Thapa, who ran on to it as Kuwait keeper Abdulrahman Marzouk rushed out and collided with him. Mahesh rushed in to get on the stray ball, but it was cleared.
It will be an exciting match as India and Kuwait are currently level on 6 points at the top of Group A, with the winner securing a place in the semifinals. Keep an eye on the Indian Football Team's Twitter page for live updates and don't miss the match live on @FanCode and DD Bharati!
