FIFA international friendly: India go down to Thailand: HIGHLIGHTS
43' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
Over the past few minutes, India appear to have switched gears.
Their passing has improved, they're able to hold possession a lot more as well and this has resulted in a couple of shots on target for India.
39' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
A couple of quick and back-to-back offensive moves from India.
Much better this from the Blue tigers.
A cross from the right almost finds Sunil Chhetri in the box, but he is denied by the Thai defense.
Abhishek collects the ball outside the Thai box and lets fly a long ranger, which is just wide of the Thai goal.
33' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
Liston sprints down the left flank with the ball at his feet.
He beats a defender and lays a pass towards the center of the Thai box, but the final Indian finish lacks power.
A golden chance goes abegging for India.
30' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
Anwar Ali with a crucial stop in the Indian box thwarts an Thai offensive in front of goal.
India on the defensive.
29' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
Short, swift passes and the occasional long ranger - that's been Thailand's gameplan so far.
And it has worked.
23' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
India comes close to scoring.
Liston with a curling free kick into the box from the left flank finds a glancing Sunil Chhetri header, who sends the ball towards the far corner.
The Thai keeper, however, is up to the task and puts in a dive to come up with the ball.
India's fist real attack on the Thai goal.
21' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
Its been very easy for Thailand to find space and get counter attacks going into India's final third so far.
18' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
A Thai freekick from the left flank is headed out by the Indian defense, only as far as the edge of the box where a left-footed curler from Thailand flies just wide of the far upright.
India heave a sigh of relief.
15' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
Thailand employing a high press...they're chasing down back passes to the Indian keeper.
A clearance from Vishal is intercepted by the Thai forward in front of goal...fortunately, the deflection goes out of bounce.
12' | Thailand 1 - 0 India
India unable to string passes together and move down the field.
Thailand, on the contrary, are playing long through balls and giving the Indian defense an early headache.
