Kolkata, Nov. 19 -- India lost to Bangladesh for the first time since 2003 and, after five matches, are the only team to have not won a match in group C of 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. Shekh Morsalin's 11th minute goal following a swift break fetched Bangladesh their first win against India since the 2003 SAFF Championship in Dhaka.

With both teams out of the finals race, this was about bragging rights and over 23,000 who had packed Dhaka's National Stadium heaved with relief at the final whistle. For India, it was again a case of not being able to find a way in the front third. Penned for most of the second half, Bangladesh survived by a combination of dogged defending and disruptive tactics with players, particularly goalkeeper Mitul Marma, going down repeatedly. Mahesh Naorem's introduction as No.10 gave India's attack thrust especially down the middle which Macarton Louis Nickson had failed to do in the first half. And Khalid Jamil's rebuilding process may have already found in Mohammed Sanan a player who can serve the India head coach well. Five minutes after coming on Sanan, along with Lalremtluanga Fanai he was one of the two debutants used by Jamil, created India's best chance of the second half when, in the 67th minute, he found Brison Fernandes with an accurate delivery. Fernandes, one of the new players Jamil trusts, failed to keep a free header on target. HTC...
