Chhetri Scores On Return To End 15-month Winless Drought As India Beat Maldives 3-0
The excitement at the stadium, hosting a senior men’s international match for the first time, was evident from the beginning as legendary striker Chhetri made a comeback to the national team after 286 days to play his 152nd match. The crowd was nearly on its feet in the very first minute when Chhetri created a move that could have fetched a goal.
The Blue Tigers made their intentions clear right from the start, with early chances falling to both Colaco and Chhetri. The match’s breakthrough came just before halftime when Bheke scored from a corner, sending India 1-0 ahead. However, there was a moment of concern as Brandon Fernandes, who was instrumental in the build-up, had to be substituted due to injury in the 41st minute, with Farukh Choudhary replacing him.
