CAFA Nations Cup 2025 Highlights: India finish third to win bronze
46' - Back LIVE for second half
We are back LIVE for the second half. Oman start with possession this time. India move from right to left.
IND 0-0 OM
HALF TIME!
That bit of play also brings an end to the first half. India, after starting slowly, have matched Oman move-for-move.
They have kept the Omani attackers in check and managed to stitch a few threatening moves of their own. The scoreboard moves unmoved though.
IND 0-0 OM
45+2' - Irfan misses!
A brilliant chance for Irfan to open the scoring but he instead ends up slicing it wide after an excellent cut back from the left flank.
IND 0-0 OM
45+1' - Yellow card, Oman!
Some unnecessary aggression on tackle from Masaikhi and he picks up a deserved yellow card.
Two minutes added to the clock as well at the end of first half.
IND 0-0 OM
42' - Good defensive display
Some solid football on display. The defensive units of both teams have really been top-notch, which shows in the lack of threatening chances created so far.
IND 0-0 OM
27' - Lucky escape for India!
Oman with a counter attack and the Indians are taken aback. Gurpreet steps down to cut the angle on the shot and Oman's No 28 Al Rawahi puts it wide.
IND 0-0 OM
25' - India growing in confidence
Unlike the early exchanges, where India looked like a sitting duck, they are now slowly growing in confidence. The Blue Tigers are eager to press forward and create some attacking moves. Good signs.
IND 0-0 OM
15' - Anwar Ali's header SAVED!
A long throw-in well delivered from India finds Anwar Ali in the box. The defender connects his header well but Oman's goalkeeper makes an even better save to deny India.
That could well have been the opening goal of the match. Unfortunate for India!
IND 0-0 OM
11' - Chhangte's free kick cleared
A free kick for India and Chhangte steps up to take it. The Omani goalkeeper steps forward and punches it away. Maybe Chhangte would have been better with placing it a bit far from the goalie.
IND 0-0 OM
