Despite protests from the Indian players, the referee adjudged the goal as fair, a decision that significantly affected the morale and momentum of the Indian team.
Qatar capitalized on the unsettled Indian team and scored their second goal through Ahmed Al-Rawi in the 85th minute, sealing their victory.
The match was played in the backdrop of the recent international retirement of Sunil Chhetri, arguably India’s greatest footballer.
Nevertheless, under the guidance of coach Igor Stimac, the team showcased resilience and a competitive spirit against the Asian champions.
The presence of a significant number of Indian supporters at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium added to the atmosphere, with the fans vocally backing their team, especially after Chhangte’s goal.
The decision by the referee has been a point of contention, with many arguing that it robbed India of a historic opportunity to advance to the third round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
