After a disappointing defeat in their opening match of the third South Asian Football Federation championship, India returned to form with an emphatic 4-0 victory against Afghanistan at the Bangabandhu National Stadium today.

India, who suffered a shock 0-1 loss against Pakistan on Friday, made light work of an inexperienced Afghanistan with Ashim Biswas and Alvito D’Cunha scoring a brace each.

In another match, Pakistan ensured themselves a berth in the last four stage of the competition with a 2-1 win over Sri Lanka. Afghanistan, who returned to international soccer after a long time, struggled to keep the rampaging Indians at bay despite the presence of four Germany based players in their ranks.
