Xiaoshan Sports Centre Stadium:  India's talismanic forward and goal poacher par excellence Sunil Chhetri on Thursday expressed relief after his side scrapped through to a narrow 1-0 victory against neighbours Bangladesh in a preliminary league match in the Asian Games men's football competition here.

Having started their campaign with a demoralising 1-5 defeat to hosts China on Tuesday (September 19), India overcame Bangladesh thanks to Chhetri converting an 85th-minute penalty in a group A match at Xiaoshan Sports Centre Stadium on Thursday.

"I feel relief that we gave ourselves a chance to stay in the tournament," Sunil Chhetri, the Indian football team's captain, said after the match.
