That is really poor from the referee. It was a corner kick for Mohun Bagan, and Jamie Maclaren got an opportunity inside the penalty area.

MBSG vs EBFC Live: Here’s what EBFC head coach said –

East Bengal head coach Oscar Bruzon backed his players to perform well in the Kolkata Derby. “We have to optimise the resources that are available to us and we have full confidence in the players who will take the field to play in the Kolkata Derby,” he said.

MBSG vs EBFC Live: Here’s what MBSG head coach said –

Mohun Bagan head coach Jose Molina played down their impressive track record against East Bengal FC in the ISL. “What we did in the ISL so far doesn’t matter in tomorrow’s game. We need to perform well, defeat them in the 90 minutes tomorrow on the pitch. We need to optimise our resources,” he said.

ISL 2024-25 Live: What will the teams target?

East Bengal will have to discover a way to break down the cohesiveness in the Mariners’ passing patterns to not let them dictate the flow of the proceedings. On the other hand, the Mariners will be targeting their fourth league double against East Bengal in the ISL.

ISL 2024-25 Live: Task cut out for EBFC

With both teams eyeing important points, Mohun Bagan will be looking to maintain their unbeaten streak, while East Bengal will be hoping to break their arch-rivals’ stronghold and avoid another loss. MBSG have played 14 matches thus far this season and lost only two of them and won 10. It will be a tough challenge for East Bengal tonight.

MBSG vs EBFC Live: Mohun Bagan are the table-toppers

Mohun Bagan are sitting comfortably at the top of the table on 32 points with 10 wins from 14 matches. Their attacking unit, led by Dimitrios Petratos, Manvir Singh, Liston Colaco, Jamie Maclaren, and Jason Cummings has been one of the most relentless in the league. Additionally, the Mariners have been solid defensively.

Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal Live: EBFC’s poor form

East Bengal have struggled in terms of scoring, having netted only five goals in this fixture. Their form has also been patchy this season, registering two wins in their last five games, which has seen them placed at 11th in the points table.

ISL 2024-25 Live: Mohun Bagan’s terrific dominance

Mohun Bagan have won eight out of the nine encounters between the two teams in ISL history. The remaining one game ended in a draw. This means East Bengal are yet to record a victory over their arch-rivals.

MBSG vs EBFC Live: Why has been the venue changed?

The change in venue for MBSG vs EBFC ISL game comes after the Bidhannagar Police in Kolkata, under whose jurisdiction the original match venue Salta Lake Stadium falls, cited concerns over inadequate security because of the Gangasagar Mela from January 10 to 18.

Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal Live: Are you ready?

We are underway and a positive start by India. The Indian footballers are controlling the ball well and the intent is to play that one lethal pass to the striker. However, no success as of now despite some good passing play.

India vs Malaysia LIVE: Asian Cup Qualifiers

The draw for the Asian Cup Qualifiers will be held on December 9. India, ranked 125, will be placed in Pot 1, while Malaysia, ranked 133, will be in Pot 2. Irrespective of Monday’s friendly game result, India will maintain their position in Pot 1.

The two teams are out in the middle and it is time for the national anthem. A big match for a new-look India side and a win will be great news for the head coach Manolo Marquez.

India vs Malaysia LIVE: Disappointing record

This will be the fourth match for Manolo Marquez as the Indian men’s football team head coach but the side has not won a single game under his coaching till now. India drew 0-0 with Mauritius and lost 0-3 to Syria in the Intercontinental Cup. India were held 1-1 by Vietnam in their last friendly match.

India vs Malaysia LIVE: Hello and welcome

Welcome to the LIVE coverage of the international friendly football match between India and Malaysia.

Premier League LIVE: Full time

Full-time in the Premier League clash and it finishes 2-2. A point leaves Arsenal five points adrift of leaders Manchester City and four behind second-placed Liverpool.

Premier League LIVE: Havertz attempt

Kai Havertz with a powerful long-range effort but it was just wide of the target. Arsenal kept the ball in their possession for quite some time and although the final effort was not on goal, Arsenal will be quite glad with how they have played in the past 5 minutes.

Premier League LIVE: Dealing with Salah

Mohamed Salah is clearly one of the best footballers in the Premier League right now but he has been quiet for most parts of the match. A good cross from him but once again, Ben White was in the perfect position to clear it and Arsenal continue to lead 2-1.

Premier League LIVE: Liverpool’s big strategy

A major change for Liverpool as they have introduced three substitutions. A big step by Arne Slot as Liverpool continue to chase the game but Arsenal look quite compact as of now. 

Premier League LIVE: Liverpool knocking at the door

Liverpool have not slowed down at all despite trailing in this match. Couple of opportunities for them but still nothing concrete for the second placed side. An attempt from Alexander Arnold but it was saved by Raya.

Premier League LIVE: Arsenal suffer setback

Gabriel looks in distress and he will be subbed off due to injury. Kiwior is introduced into the game but Arsenal will not be happy. Gabriel has been a mainstay of the defence and his absence can prove to be problematic in such a big game.

Premier League LIVE: Second half begins

The second half is underway and the game is off to a rough start. A tough tackle on Gabriel and looks like Arsenal may have a problem here.

Premier League LIVE: Half-time

It is half-time and Arsenal lead 2-1. A see-saw game till now but Arsenal have clearly been the superior side. The flanks have been dominated by Arsenal and if Liverpool cannot find a way to use their full backs well, Arsenal clearly have the advantage at the moment.

Premier League LIVE: Arsenal 2-1 up

Arsenal have taken a 2-1 lead and it is a set piece goal once again. A perfect free-kick from Declan Rice and Mikel Merino has headed it in for his first goal for the club. Perfect time to take the lead and after a lengthy VAR check, the stadium erupts in joy.

Premier League LIVE: Possession power

While Liverpool started the game well, Arsenal have completely dominated possession in the last 15 minutes. However, no clear cut chances for them in that period – a thing that will worry Arteta.

Premier League LIVE: Record alert

Arsenal vs Liverpool is officially the highest scoring fixture in Premier League history right now as it overtook Liverpool vs Tottenham.

Premier League LIVE: Penalty shout

Huge penalty shout for Arsenal but nothing! Martinelli was fouled inside the penalty box by Konate but the referee was not convinced. Big moment in the game!

Premier League LIVE: Arsenal on the offensive

Bukayo Saka has been sensational on the right flank and this is turning into a very tough fight. A good long-range shot flew above the goal but Arsenal will take a lot of confidence from this passage of play.

Premier League LIVE: Liverpool equalise

Liverpool have made it 1-1 and it is Virgil Van Djik. A brilliant corner was flicked towards the near post by Luis Diaz and Van Djik made no mistake in slotting it home. Game on!

Premier League LIVE: What a miss!

Mohamed Salah came within inches of equalising but the ball flies wide. It was a loose pass from Arsenal but Salah’s long-range effort failed to find the goal. Arsenal continue to live dangerously.

Premier League LIVE: Saka scores

Bukayo Saka scores and Arsenal have taken the lead! A perfect pass to Saka but he had to do a lot. Saka controlled the pass brilliantly and slotted it home from close range. Dream start for Arsenal!

Premier League LIVE: Chance for Arsenal

First chance of the match for Arsenal as they received a free kick in a good position. However, although the delivery was quite good, the attackers were unable to produce something dangerous and still no big chance for any side.

Premier League LIVE: We are underway

The match is underway and an early chance for Liverpool. They earned a corner but the delivery was not up to the mark and Ben White cleared it properly. Saka did have a chance to counter but no threat as of now.

Premier League LIVE: Big boost for Arsenal

A huge boost for Arsenal as Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber are back in the playing XI. However, quite a lot of absentees who will be missed by Mikel Arteta for sure.

Premier League LIVE: West Ham stun Man United

Manchester United suffered another damaging defeat for manager Erik ten Hag as Jarrod Bowen’s penalty in stoppage time gave West Ham a 2-1 win on Sunday. United slip to 14th in the Premier League table, having won just three of their opening nine games.

Premier League LIVE: Liverpool Playing XI

Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Diaz, Salah, Nunez.

Premier League LIVE: Arsenal Playing XI

Raya, Partey, White, Gabriel, Timber, Rice, Merino, Trossard, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz.

Premier League LIVE: Change in fortunes

Arsenal were tipped to push Manchester City all the way again this season after twice coming so close to a first Premier League title since 2003/04. But it is Liverpool who lead the way after a near flawless start to Arne Slot’s reign. The Gunners shock 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth last week leaves them four points behind the Reds and three adrift of second-placed City.

Premier League LIVE: Hello and welcome

Welcome to the LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Arsenal and Liverpool. It is a significant game for both sides as a win will take Liverpool to the top spot while a loss can spell the end of Arsenal’s title hopes.

That’s the end of the first half. 278 minutes now since India last scored. 225 minutes of them has been under new coach Manolo Marquez. Few chances for the men in blue, as Vietnam dominated. Gurpreet Singh Sandhu saved a penalty, but what more can he do with the continuous onslaught?

An uphill battle lies in the second half.

HT: VIE 1-0 IND

39′ VIE 1-0 IND

India vs Vietnam LIVE: India struggling to gain control

The biggest problem for India has been their lack of control on the game. Chances have been few and far between. Vietnam with some lovely play down the right again, and a seemingly dangerous cross is blocked by Anwar Ali. Had he missed, it would’ve fallen right in front of a Vietnam man.

37′ VIE 0-0 IND

India vs Vietnam LIVE: Chance from the edge of the box!

Vietnam fire a shot from the edge of the box, but it is blocked. We are half an hour into the contest. No goal yet, but the biggest chances certainly have fallen Vietnam’s way.

India’s early spell of chances now seem a long time ago. Vietnam are continuously threatening the Indian box, and Manolo Marquez’s men are unable to hold on to possession.

22′ VIE 0-0 IND

India vs Vietnam LIVE: Big chances for Vietnam

Brilliant combination play by Vietnam, not once but twice in the space of a minute. The Vietnamese No. 9 is probing near the India box, and fires two shots just wide of the post. Alarm bells for the Indian defence.

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu has responded to selection doubters in style. Brilliant penalty save.

Sensational by Farukh Choudhary. Cuts in from the right wing, skips past a defender, and takes a powerful shot from range. It is saved by the goalkeeper, but exciting stuff from India!

8′ VIE 0-0 IND

India vs Vietnam LIVE: Corner for India!

Left wing-back Naorem Roshan wins India their first corner, and proceeds to take both. Unsuccessful delivery by Roshan, as Vietnam clear both.

VIE 0-0 IND (1′)

India vs Vietnam LIVE: We are underway!

Vietnam kick us off. India will be attacking right from right to left in the first half. India are winless in 10 games, can they win at last?

India vs Vietnam LIVE: “Expect a good performance”

Manolo Marquez has said ahead of the game that fans should be expecting a better performance from India, given the start of the ISL and players being more in rhythm.

India vs Vietnam LIVE: Comeback for Farukh Choudhary

Winger Farukh Choudhary is back in the national team setup, having impressed for Chennaiyin FC in the ISL. He is expected to feature on the left-wing, with Lallianzuala Chhangte on the right.

India vs Vietnam LIVE: The big weakness

Undoubtedly, India’s biggest weakness has been the lack of a pure No. 9. India are yet to score under their new coach, and have been unable to fill the boots of Sunil Chhetri post his retirement.

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Match to get shifted to another date?

The match has been stopped for now due to Atletico fans throwing objects at Real Madrid keeper Thibaut Courtois, who played for Los Rojiblancos for three seasons on loan from Chelsea. Koke and Diego Simeone tried to put some sense into the Atleti fans but they continue to create a fuss. If this doesn’t stop, the match might be called off for the day and shifted to another date.

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Match stopped!

Some tenstions behind Courtois goal! Atletico fans insulting the Belgian, their former player. Koke and Diego Simeone trying to calm things down but Atleti fans have lost it for some reason. The match has been suspended temporarily

ATM 0:1 RMA (’64)

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Gimenez is down in pain!

Gimenez is down after a clash with Rodrygo. It was more off a coming together with Reinildo putting the pressure on Rodrygo. JMG is receiving treatment and Atleti are down to 10-man temporarily

ATM 0:0 RMA (’59)

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Change for Atleti!

Samuel Lino comes on, indeed! Atletico will switch to 4-3-3 with Alex Sorloth the man to make the way for him. No movement in Real Madrid’s bench yet

ATM 0:0 RMA (’55)

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Chance for Rodrygo!

Rodrygo finds some room for a shot but fails to work the keeper. A well worked set piece routine from Madrid. However, Rodrygo blazes his effort just over Oblak’s goal. Atketico preparing another change with Samuel Lino set to come one

ATM 0:0 RMA (’50)

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Koke comes on for Atleti!

Koke is coming on for Atletico! He has the captain’s armband in the tunnel. No changes from Real Madrid it seems. Nahuel Molina is off

ATM vs RMA LIVE: HT!

LaLiga match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid 0-0 at half-time. Bellingham and Valverde were both denied a goal each by Atletico’s shot-stopper Jan Oblak. On the other hand, Thibaut Courtois also made a sharp save to keep the scoreline at 0:0 in the first half

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Yellow card for Modric!

Again, Real Madrid are lacking that final pass. Bellingham tries to combine with Vinicius but the Brazilian loses possession to Conor Gallagher. Luka Modric gets the booking as he was trying to reclaim the ball from the Englishman

ATM 0:0 RMA (’40)

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Chance for Real Madrid!

Vinicius takes on Rodrigo de Paul and manages to shrug him off. He finds Rodrygo, who lays it for Bellingham, whose shot finds Oblak’s safe hands. Another half chance for Real Madrid

ATM 0:0 RMA (’35)

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Typical Atleti performance so far!

ATM 0:0 RMA (’32)

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Real Madrid getting frustrated!

Real Madrid are trying to create something here. However, Atletico’s back five has kept them quiet so far. Rodrygo struggling to get into the game. Bellingham and Valverde have been bright for Madrid.

ATM 0:0 RMA (’26)

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Saved by Oblak!

Oblak makes a decent save to keep the score at 0-0. Fede Valverde with a fizzing shot from outside the box. Real Madrid get a corner

ATM 0:0 RMA (’16)

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Important clearance from Llorente!

Luka Modric wins a corner after Carvajal finds him with a floated pass inside the box. However, Llorente recognised the danger and made a crucial challenge. Real Madrid fail to capitalise on the set-piece’

ATM 0:0 RMA (’13)

ATM vs RMA LIVE: Chance for Atletico!

Much better from Atletico Madrid! Julian Alvarez dribbles past Antonio Rudiger down the right channel. He then cuts inside and unleashes a powerful shot, which is saved by Thibaut Courtois

ATM 0:0 RMA (’11)

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid LIVE: Boos for Vinicius!

Loud jeers for Vinicius everytime he takes a touch on the ball. Not sure if this is right or wrong. Meanwhile, Fede Valverde takes down Reinildo with a lunging challenge

ATM 0:0 RMA (‘7)

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid LIVE: Clumsy challenge from Modric!

The referee signals a free kick as Luka Modric from Real Madrid trips Marcos Llorente. Late challenge from the Crotian

So, the action is underway. Real Madrid are attacking from left to right in this first half. 

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid LIVE: Moments away from kick off!

Massive cheer for Diego Simeone from the fans inside the stadium after his name was announced on the big screen. Simeone holds a special place in the hearts of the Atletico fans.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid LIVE: Lo Celso can’t stop scoring!

Giovani Lo Celso has scored his fifth goal of the season. His goal was enough to give Real Betis a 1-0 win over Espanyol ahead of next week’s crucial derby against Sevilla. Manuel Pelligrini’s men are now 8th in the table. Meanwhile, Espanyo are just outside the bottom three spots with seven points. Great game at the Benito Villamarin.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid LIVE: Bellingham or Gallager?

Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham or Atletico’s Conor Gallagher! This will be an interesting midfield battle between the two Englishmans. Bellingham had a cracking debut campaign, scoring 19 goals to help Madrid win the league. Gallagher too is enjoying life in the Spanish capital after he was forced out by his boyhood club Chelsea.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid LIVE: Strong XI from Simeone!

For Atleti, both Alexander Sorloth and big money signing Julian Alvarez at the top. Alvarez scored late against Celto midweek to snatch all three points for Los Colconeros. Englishman Conor Gallagher is another summer arrival who starts for Diego Simeone’s men. The former Chelsea man has already scored twice in his first five games for Atleti.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid LIVE: All eyes on Vinicius!

Real Madrid are without Kylian Mbappe for this after the France captain picked up an injury midweek against Deportivo Alaves. Mbappe, who arrived on free contract in the summer, has scored five league goals already this season. In his absence, the onus will be on Vinicius Jr, who is the top contender to win this year’s Ballon d’Or.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid LIVE: Atletico’s recent dominance!

Hello and welcome to the viewers! We are all set for the clash of titans as Madrid rivals Atletico take on defending LaLiga champions Real. The Los Blancos have pieced together a stunning 33-match unbeaten streak since then. Their last league loss came at this very stadium almost a year ago.

India vs Syria LIVE: Thank you!

That’s a wrap for our coverage of the Intercontinental Cup 2024. The Indian football team is in action again in exactly a month’s time, as they take on Vietnam on October 9, before facing Lebanon on October 12. Manolo Marquez would hope to have a better grip on how his team functions by then.

India vs Syria LIVE: Positives

The only redeeming point to take away from these two Intercontinental Cup games will be that second half vs Syria. Yes, India conceded two late goals. But despite trailing, they created several chances and could’ve scored if they’d been more clinical. 

India vs Syria LIVE: “We were scared”

“We were scared in the first half, but 3-0 does not show the reality. We deserved to score in the second half,” says coach Manolo Marquez, who has suffered his first loss as an India coach.

India vs Syria LIVE: The goalscorers

It was Mahmoud Al-Aswad who gave Syria a very early lead, in just the seventh minute. India had many chances in the second half, but Syria put the dagger in the 77th minute courtesy Daleho Irandust. And to rub salt on the wounds, a third in the 96th minute by Pablo Sabbag.

India vs Syria LIVE: Syria win Intercontinental Cup 2024!

A clinical performance by Syria tonight. They beat Mauritius 2-0, and they have demolished India 3-0. Despite India’s best efforts in the second half, Syria were devastating on the counter-attack and made India pay for their lapses.

FT: IND 0-3 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: 3-0. Game over.

Syria come down the left, squares it into the box and it is tapped home by Pablo Sabba. Miserable outcome for India. India finishes last in the Intercontinental Cup 2024.

80+6′ IND 0-3 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: India hit crossbar!

How did that not go in? Liston Colaco tries a shot miles out, takes the Syrian goalkeeper completely by surprise. The ball ricochets off the crossbar.

90+4′ IND 0-2 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: What a run

A fabulous run by Syria’s Mustafa Abdullatif down the right wing, as he dances past two or three Indian bodies. Tries to lay it off for a teammate, but a sliding challenge by Asish Rai denies Syria.

90+1′ IND 0-2 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Story of missed opportunities

For a lot of the second half, India have had Syria on the back foot. But it has been the clinical nature of Syria that has made the difference tonight.

89′ IND 0-2 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: What a shot!

Edmund Lalrindika, the only I-League player in the India squad, drives forward and takes a venomous shot, but it goes narrowly over the bar. Great intent from the young forward.

Moments later, Chhangte hits on the volley and cracks the crossbar!

88′ IND 0-2 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Asish Rai tries

Patient build-up for India ends with an erratic shot by Asish Rai on his weaker left foot from long range. Goes well over the bar.

84′ IND 0-2 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Syria score second

Oh dear! Just as India were coming into the game, dominating the second half, Syria strike the second goal against the run of play. Surely that’s the hammer blow. Midfielder Daleho Irandust scores.

77′ IND 0-2 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: ANOTHER chance!

Mahesh drives to the byline, gets the cross in, Nandha cannot connect well, and neither can Chhangte reach to the end of the scuffed shot. Still 0-1 down, but India have been the better side in the second half.

68′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Chhangte on the left wing

Lallianzuala Chhangte has switched flanks in the second half. Now operating on the left flank, the left-footed winger is being more direct, and getting into more shooting positions.

66′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Sahal substituted

Sahal Abdul Samad has been taken off. Naorem Mahesh Singh, the winger who has taken over the No. 11 shirt after Sunil Chhetri, comes on.

64′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Massive influence by Asish Rai

He did not have the best of games vs Mauritius, but what an impact so far from Asish Rai! Subbed in, he’s been involved positively in both defence and offence. 

62′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Another big chance denied!

India are getting closer and closer! Asish Rai whips in a brilliant cross, Manvir goes for it, and then Chhangte’s shot from the loose ball has to be denied by a sliding block. 

60′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Driving run by Sahal

Asish Rai wins it back, Sahal drives forward the length of the pitch, finds Chhangte on the left who gets a shot away, but is denied by a diving save. Much better from India!

55′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Early corners

Two early corners for India at the start of the second half. The first one was cleared away, the second is played short before being curled in to the box. But Syria defend.

49′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Second half starts

And the second half between India and Syria is underway. A goal is needed!

46′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Two changes it is

Manolo Marquez reacts. Two changes as India chase an equaliser.

Apuia replaces Suresh Wangjam in central midfield, and Asish Rai is on for Nikhil Poojary at right-back. Injection of pace.

India vs Syria LIVE: Changes?

It will be interesting to see whether Manolo Marquez responds with immediate substitutions. In the game against Mauritius, he made two changes at the start of the second half.

HT: IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Must-win for India

With Syria winning against Mauritius, but India only drawing, this match is a must-win for India if they hope to lift the Intercontinental Cup 2024. So far, it seems like Syria are powering their way through to the trophy.

India vs Syria LIVE: Still hope?

India have been more composed and cohesive tonight than at any point against Mauritius. However, up against a better team, they’ve been cut open a few times, one of which led to the only goal of the game.

But with only a one goal deficit, India will still retain hope.

HT: IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Close, but wide

A teasing set piece sent in by Lallianzuala Chhangte towards the far post, but the final effort once again goes wide of the Syrian goal. And that signals HALF-TIME.

HT: IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Sahal tests Syria!

Sahal drives a low shot at goal, but the goalkeeper makes a superb save. A multitude of chances follow, specially for Chhangte and Poojary at the edge of the box, but Syria scramble to defend. Two minutes of stoppage time.

45+1′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Five minutes left in the half

Five more minutes to go in the first half. Can India find a dramatic equaliser?

41′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Nandha shoots, but offside!

Manvir wins a header, lays it on for Nandha who takes a venomous shot at goal, BUT Manvir was offside! Still, positive signs for the men in blue.

38′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: India’s new weapon

A big weapon being used by India to transition has been long throws by Gurpreet. He is clearing the halfway line with ease using his throws, and that is proving to be a method more and more.

37′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Nearly again for Syria

A corner into the danger zone has to be saved first by Gurpreet, who has to go low. The ball is cleared with much difficulty. Nervous moments for the Indian defence.

35′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: The big threat

The big threat lies in the fact that Syria have the quality to break the Indian defence at any moment, even against the run of play. Particularly down the wings, Syria are devastating with their pace and passing.

34′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Free-kick for India

Sahal puts the ball in towards the box from the set piece, but it is well defended by Syria. Slowly, but surely, India are growing into the game.

33′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Chance for India!

Nandha finds some space and curls in a cross from the left wing. Manvir leaps to reach it but the goalkeeper collects. Couple of moments later, another cross from the left, this time by Subhasish. Chhangte rises but sees his header go over.

26′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Al-Aswad dancing

Mahmoud Al-Aswad is enjoying himself. Dances past Anwar Ali, who is left sliding on the floor. Drives to the byline to cut it back, but the shot from the edge of the area is blocked and cleared out of danger.

24′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Massive chance goes begging!

Relief for India! Syria cut open the Indian press and bypass the defence with ease. Striker Alaa Al Dali is sent through on goal, but misses his 1v1 against Gurpreet, his finish going wide.

21′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Good pressure from India

Nearly 20 minutes into the contest, but the pressure from the Indian forwards has been pretty resilient. However, Syria are doing an excellent job of containing it.

20′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: More composed in possession

India look a lot more comfortable on the ball today, despite conceding the early goal. The addition of Anwar Ali at the back and Suresh Wangjam in midfield seems to have made a big difference in that regard.

18′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Syrian spark

Syria are putting together some nice combination moves, and the latest comes through the left flank. They cut inside and attempt a shot which is high and wide, though.

16′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: First attack for India

Manvir looks to send Nandha through with a chipped over the top ball, and Nandha did well to be onside. However, he is outmuscled by the Syrian defender.

13′ IND 0-1 SYR

India vs Syria LIVE: Another chance!

Syria are commanding the early minutes of the game. They get another shot away, that goes just beyond the goal.

10′ IND 0-1 SYR
