India and Afghanistan made due with a 0-0 draw in the wake of neglecting to transform their chances into objectives in the gathering apparatus of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers on Thursday. It was start-to-finish stuff in the primary half, with India verging on scoring through Manvir Singh on two events and the hosts also having their share of possibilities. Be that as it may, the greater part of them were half possibilities, and the goalkeepers of the two groups were not sufficiently tried.
With India and Afghanistan depending on open football, the primary half saw a rush of going after moves; however, the strikers couldn’t wake up in the last third, leaving the two gaffers, Igor Stimac and Ashley Westwood, a little disappointed as they yelled directions from the touchline.
India were in all-out attack mode from the word go and caused a few restless minutes in the Afghanistan protection, and had Manvir not rejected an extraordinary opportunity on the seventeenth moment, the guests would have taken an early lead in their away leg of the second round of the 2026 World Cup and 2027 AFC Asian Cup primer joint capability match.
Then there was an extension for Afghanistan to go on, yet Mosawer Ahadi, who tracked down room on the right half of the crate, couldn’t pack sufficient punch in his left-footed exertion as Sandhu handled it absently.
An opportunity went asking for India in the 58th moment after Akash Mishra on the left flank won the ball and crossed it to Vikram Pratap Singh, whose completion passed on a ton to be wanted.
Minutes after the fact, it was Afghanistan’s chance to pass up a once-in-a lifetime chance as Rahul Bheke thwarted Rahmat Akbari and Omid Popalzay’s arrangement with an opportune capture.
One of the game’s best possibilities came from India’s direction; however, Subhasish Bose’s free header off a corner kick missed the objective.
