FULL TIME! THAT'S IT. THE WINNING RUN CONTUNUES. AND A WHAT AN EFFECT SUNIL CHHETRI HAS ON INDIA!!!!
FINAL SCORE: INDIA 1-0 KYRGYZ REPUBLIC
90' Robin Singh has probably earned everyone's wrath while missing an easy chance to get India 2-0 up. That was RIDICULOUS miss.
82' Just about ten minutes to go for yet another victory for India, if everything remains the same for now.
IND 1-0 KGZ
78' Robin Singh comes on for Jeje Lalpekhlua.
72' Jackichand Singh gets replaced by Bikash Jairu.
68' GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!! Absolutely superb way to get on to the scoresheet. Who's the man? No guesses at all, SUNIL CHHETRI.
Difficult to describe the goal as he was completely a ONE MAN ARMY...
64' Rafique comes on for Rowlin Borges. What can he do to help the Indians now?
60' Somehow, the hosts are just not able to have the upper hand at all. The game is totally going away from India, and I'll not be surprised if they will be happy with a goalless draw.
The Kyrgyz forwards are way too superiorly skilled than the Indians.
55' WHAT A SHOT! Israilov's stunning shot hits the upright and goes out. That was a heart-in-the-mouth moment for India.
50' The away side are still holding a major upper hand in the match. India have to find a key to create an opening to score a goal. It's getting too much nervy for the hosts.
46' And Jeje starts the half with a great shot on goal! And Matiash we a great save....
9:06 pm IST: And we are under way for the 2nd half from the Kanteerava Stadium in Bangalore...
HALF TIME! Massive task for India to get past this confident Kyrgyz Republic side in the second half. The attacking intent should get more from the hosts. Maybe, the inclusion of Robin Singh could give that much-needed aerial advantage.
Score: IND 0-0 KGZ
45' Added time: 3 mins
40' The away team is executing really good passes and India are left to just witness that and do nothing...
35' SHOT! Jeje now with a shot on goal of his own. TheKyrgyz custodian Matiash up for it steadily.
32' SHOT! Murazev takes a bullet of a shot...but it's nowhere near the goal.
30' Half an hour of the game coming to an end. So far, it has been Kyrgyz Republic who has done more of the damage from attack.
IND 0-0 KGZ
23' Jackichand yet again! The winger is doing really well,but his final ball somewhere is getting lost among the Kyrgyz defenders.
On the other end, Pritam Kotal is putting up a good show with his sliding tackles in the defence.
17' jACKICHAND showcasing his dribbling and crossing skills for the first time...as India earn their first corner.
That's taken short, and wasted....
14' CHANCE: The home team are struggling at the moment. Kyrgyz are turning out way top good. The away team skipper Murazev takes a GOOD SHOT on goal....but it's just saved by Gurpreet.
9' Flurry of corners for the away side already. India finding a little difficult to retain the ball possession now. The defenders have their work cut out.
7' And there's a substitution coming: Edgar comes on for the injured Anton. That's very heartbreaking.
5' Fair share of possession for both teams so far. The highlight of the first few minutes of play has been a nasty injury to Kyrgyz forward Anton who has had a nasty fall, and is currently stretchered off the field.
We hope he's okay.
0' HERE WE GO! The home side start the proceedings.
