In wretched Asian Cup campaign, India sink further in Bangladesh
New Delhi: In an attempt to reboot following elimination from AFC Asian Cup qualification, India have been sucked further deep into the black hole they are in after a 1-0 defeat in Bangladesh.
Their wretched campaign turned from worse to worst as even fellow ousted team Bangladesh now have a win in the group after Tuesday, after Shekh Morsalin’s 11th minute match winner on Tuesday.
With their third loss in five matches India remain winless and at the bottom of the four team standings with only two points, three behind their Tuesday’s opponents, who notched up their first win in 22 years.
It didn’t matter for Bangladesh that their home qualifier was a dead rubber. India’s handsomely paid footballers might have wanted to put in the same kind of effort but fell far........
