India had to do a lot of defending.India had few such neat moves and lost the ball often. Ashique's shot deflected from the Thai goalkeeper and hit defender Theerathon Bunmathan's hand and the Hong Kong referee pointed to the dreaded spot. In the first, Gurpreet was beaten off another free-kick but central defender Anas Edathodika had the last touch to concede a corner. Halicharan Narzary sent a pint-point pass to Udanta who rounded up the Thai goalkeeper and left the ball for Thapa to chip over a couple of defenders on the top corner of the net.Lalpekhlua then scored two minutes after coming into the field. He was fed by a nice pass from Narzary again and his chipped shot from the top of the box beat the goalkeeper all ends up.
