FIFA international friendly: India go down to Thailand: HIGHLIGHTS
66' | Thailand 2 - 0 India
A corner for India and Jhingan rises above the Thai defense... the header though, is wide of the goal.
64' | Thailand 2 - 0 India
A free kick for India from the left flank and Liston, like he did previously, goes for goal.
Denied, not once, but twice by the Thai wall.
60' | Thailand 2 - 0 India
Poramet scores for Thailand.
Just when India were looking good, a missed-pass is picked up by the hosts. A quick transition ensues and from the left flank, Poramet lets fly a curler that finds the top-right bin and Vishal has no chance.
51' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
Liston with a free kick from the left flank and he targets the goal directly...tipped over the crossbar by the Thai custodian.
48' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
A quick counter from India on a turnover and Sunil Chhetri comes down in the Thai box...no penalty!
Chhetri is livid...he feels that he was denied a penalty there.
Chhetri had just a defender to beat there...
2nd Half | Thailand 1 - 0 India
Here were go...plenty for India to do in this second half.
Half-time | Thailand 1 - 0 India
Thailand came flying out of the box straight after the kick-off and caught the Indian defense off-guard to score early.
And for a better portion of the first 20-mintues, the hosts were in full control.
After the 30-mintue mark, India began to find their footing and made a couple of good attempts on the Thai goal.
The best chance for India, however, came in the final minute of the first half, where Liston had just the keeper to beat in the Thai box, but failed to do so.
India has its work cut out, but there are signs of promise though.
46' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
Liston fails to beat the keeper...what a chance for India.
Sunil Chhetri puts Liston through and with just the keeper to beat, Liston fails to find the back of the net.
The Thai keeper sticks out his right boot to thwart Liston.
