AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers: Hong Kong Add To India's Woes With Stoppage-time Winner
AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers: The Indian national football team fell to a 1-0 defeat against Hong Kong in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers at Kowloon's Kai Tak Stadium on Tuesday. A stoppage-time penalty from Stefan Pereira secured all three points for the hosts. This result left the Blue Tigers with one point from two matches, while Hong Kong climbed to four.
With both teams having dropped points in their opening fixtures, they approached the game with urgency and attacking intent. The early stages saw end-to-end action, but neither side could carve out a clear-cut chance.
In the 25th minute, Hong Kong’s Raphael Lee tested Vishal Kaith with a long-range effort, but the Indian goalkeeper stood firm. Liston Colaco responded with a strike from distance at the other end, which the opposition keeper comfortably collected.
