52′ : Mawia and Vineeth mess up a bit on the right flank. Oman is on an attack here.
50′ : Good block by Euegensen and then a good ball played forward to Robin SIngh. Better start by India in the second half.
48′ : Incorrect pass by Eugenesen as Qasim Said latches onto it and shoots from distance but misses by a whisker. Near deja vu there.
46′ : So India begin from right to left now. No changes from either side.
With a WDLL record against their Arabian Sea neighbour it was going to be daunting task but the scoreline and the way India has played is pretty satisfactory till the half time. Its important not to accept any goal anymore and stretch Oman till the very end and grasp an opportunity to equalize. Cmmon India.
