SAFF Championship: Late Own Goal After Chhetri Stunner Spoils India's Party As Kuwait Draw 1-1

By IANS News June 28, 2023 • 10:32 AM View: 476

SAFF Championship: Sunil Chhetri scored a stunning goal but a late own goal by India helped Kuwait fight back to draw 1-1 in the final Group A clash of the Bangabandhu SAFF Championship 2023 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Tuesday.

In what was a high-tempo and high-tempered contest from start to finish, Sunil Chhetri's 92nd international goal, a clinical volley put India ahead at the stroke of half-time. They came close but could not add more goals to their tally. However, an unfortunate own goal from Anwar Ali in second-half injury time put a heartbreaking and unfortunate end to India's hopes of topping the group.
