Singapore took a one-goal lead in just the first six minutes of the match, but then the ball changed hands after a misplaced pass in midfield. Kuruniyang capitalized on the opportunity and one-timed a shot into the net, instantly equalizing the game for India, with the scoreline knotted at 1-1.
In the second half, both sides failed to create any obvious threatening attack and finally shook hands with a score of 1-1. The statistics show that India had 54% of the ball in their possession, 4 shots on goal ahead of Singapore's 1, and 5-2 corner kicks, but such a performance could not be converted into a victory, which is a pity.
In the latest FIFA world rankings, the Indian men's soccer team is ranked 104th while the Singapore men's soccer team is ranked 159th. So, it seems as if India's failure to beat Singapore was a minor snub.
According to the latest statistics, India's domestic population is approaching 1.4 billion, ranking second in the world after China. Of course, it is only a matter of time to realize the overtaking. In recent years, the Indian men's soccer team and the Chinese men's soccer team have had a meeting, the two sides ended up in a 0-0 draw.
The Indian men's soccer team, which also failed to qualify for the Qatar World Cup, is actively preparing for training and warm-up matches. On the contrary, the Chinese men's soccer team can only be a spectator. This has to do with the Chinese Football Association being busy with the Chinese Super League.
In recent days, Asian teams have been scheduling warm-up matches. Japan, South Korea, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Australia and other teams representing Asia in the World Cup, as well as Iraq, Syria, Oman, Vietnam, the United Arab Emirates and other teams have also completed a warm-up game. The whole Asian teams are preparing for the game, only the Chinese men's soccer team seems a bit idle.
