22nd min – India 1-0 Cambodia: OH CHANCE! Roshan with a cross from the right flank, Chhetri with his superb movement finds himself in a yard of space and well placed to take the header but it loops over. 36’ – India 1-0 Cambodia: Oh, Akash had to be alert to the cross from left. 41’ – India 1-0 Cambodia: The Blue Tigers attack again but once again largely passive possession. That is absolutely perfectly placed to the right of the keeper who guessed right but couldn’t get a hand. 68’ – India 2-0 Cambodia: Possibly a precaution for protecting the legs of his talismanic striker. HALF TIME – India 1-0 Cambodia: Presumably the half time team talk from Stimac would be centered on converting that 69% possession into a few more meaningful chances. 73’ – India 2-0 Cambodia: Roshan is on the turf after taking a shot. HALF TIME – India 1-0 Cambodia: Chhetri’s penalty, won by Liston, the difference between the two sides. and Cambodia have a free kick from a nice position just outside the box. 77’ – India 2-0 Cambodia: India are also seemingly happy with this lead now. Sunil Chhetri with a brace, but a whole lot of credit for Brandon Fernandes and Suresh Wangjam, the engines of the performance tonight. But of course, it was the same for both teams, the tempo of the game could not be maintained for a longer time.
