30" Half and hour gone and now Bangladesh are looking desparate for the equaliser. But they should try and create chance with more creativity because this Indian defence is solid, kept 3 clean sheets in last 3 matches.
25" Bangladesh number 16 and India number 9, both tried from outside the box and the ball sailed over the bar.
22" Indian attack was taken care by Bangladeshi defence and sliding tackle will keep the possession for Bangladesh.
19" Indian defence has been good so far, clearing and blocking everything that's coming their way. And with lead in their favour, Bangladesh has to chase the game and try to find some gap in this Indian defence.
17" Bangladesh cross comes in and the attempt went over the goal post. 15" Himanshu makes an interception and lobs the ball up towards Gurkirat, attempting to initiate a counter, but it is cleared by the Bangladesh defence.
10" Rafiqul Islam takes a shot on the Indian goal, but it rolls harmlessly wide.

2' GOOOAAAAAL!! The stands go wild, as Gurkirat sends the keeper the wrong way! India have the early lead!

???? 0-1 ????
