Match Facts |

India beat Afghanistan 2-1 in a thrilling match at the end of the match on Saturday evening, with both teams denouncing each other for 86 minutes at the Salt Lake Stadium with 40,000 spectators at the stand. Talisman Chhetri celebrates 17 years in international football. It was the 83rd goal of the Indian superstar in international football when he ended Argentine talent Lionel Messi, who was ranked second among active players.
Newly drawn from the 2-1 draw with Afghanistan, India, coached by Igor Stemak, will face Hong Kong in their final Group D match of the AFC Asian Cup 2023 qualifiers on Tuesday. After two matches, both the teams are unbeaten on six points each, which promises to be an interesting top-of-the-table fight at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
The equation for India is simple: they beat Hong Kong on Tuesday and qualified for next year's Asian Cup. Even if India finish second in the points table, they can still hope to end up being one of the top five second-placed teams to qualify for the Continental competition. In the last match, India defeated Afghanistan 2-1 thanks to goals from Sunil Chhetri and Sahal Abdul Samad. After the first 85 minutes, without conceding a goal, Chhetri opened the scoring with a free kick, and within two minutes Zubair Amiri equalized with a header.
With only minutes left in the game, it was moving towards a brisk finish. Five minutes into injury time, Sahal Abdul Samad overtook the Afghanistan goalkeeper with a superb pass from Ashiq Kuruni in the first minute of injury time. India are set to celebrate their victory just days after their 2-0 win over Cambodia. Meanwhile, Hong Kong beat Afghanistan 2-1 and Cambodia 3-0 in their first two group games on Tuesday, looking to ruin India's chances. Afghanistan and Cambodia are already out of contention with two defeats in two matches.
India possible starting lineup:
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu; Naorem Roshan Singh, Sandesh Jhingan, Anwar Ali, Akash Mishra; Suresh Singh, Anirudh Thapa; Brandon Fernandes, Manvir Singh, Liston Colaco; Sunil Chhetri.
Hong Kong possible starting lineup:
Yapp Hung Fui; Sean Tse, Law Tsz Chan, Wong Tsz Ho, Yu Wai Lim, Huang Yang, Ju Yingzhi, Yue Tze Nam, Wai Wong; Matt Orr, Sun Ming Him. Head Coach: Jorn Andersen.
