India just 1 point ahead of Kuwait in Group A
If the Indian football team had managed to win the match against Afghanistan, it would have been ahead in the points table with more lead than Kuwait. Currently, the Indian football team is in second place but has only one point more than Kuwait. Talking about this match, a very aggressive start was seen from the Indian team. Vikram Pratap Singh, who was playing the first match of his international career, kept the defenders of the Afghan team in constant trouble with his game, in which Manvir Singh supported him. The Indian football team appeared completely dominant during the first half of the game.
Sunil Chhetri expressed disappointment on the match draw
After the disappointing performance of the Indian football team in the match against Afghanistan, Sunil Chhetri said in his statement to AIFF that the Afghan players played as a team and appeared very aggressive. He knew what he had to do which was reflected in the coaching of Ashley Westwood. But I think it depends more on how we play, we did not completely dominate this match. After what happened in the Asian Cup, we should have made a comeback, although it is not easy but we have to move beyond this quickly. Let us tell you that India now has to play its next match against Afghanistan in the FIFA World Cup Qualifier which will be played on March 26.
