Within the first two minutes of the match, Kyrgyzstan established who were better team on the day. India were caught out by a quick counter-attack and it was nearly impossible for Gurpreet Singh Sandhu to make a move before the ball was nestled into the back of the net. But he did save India from a number of other sticky situations and prevented the scoreline from being any more damning. This was a dead rubber and India are still going to UAE in 2019 for the Asian Cup but there is a lot of work left to do before that.
