India Suffers Devastating 0-1 Defeat to Bangladesh in 2027 Asian Cup Qualifiers

India faced a heart-wrenching loss against Bangladesh in their penultimate Group C match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers held in Dhaka. Sheikh Morsalin's goal in the 11th minute secured a 1-0 victory for Bangladesh, leaving the Indian team in dismay.

Despite having a golden scoring chance in the 31st minute, India's hopes were dashed as Lallianzuala Chhangte's shot was cleared by Bangladesh's goalkeeper. The match witnessed moments of tension, with pushing and shoving among players, which was swiftly brought under control by the referee.

India's campaign in the qualifiers took a hit when they lost 1-2 to Singapore, sealing their fate. With just two points from five matches, India found themselves at the bottom of the table, with this defeat marking their third loss in the qualifiers.

Following their first win in five matches, Bangladesh climbed to the third position in the group standings with five points. The win against India marked a significant moment for Bangladesh, who had previously drawn against their opponents in the first leg match.

India, ranked 136th in the FIFA charts, will face Hong Kong in their final 2027 Asian Cup qualifier match on March 31 next year. The defeat against Bangladesh serves as a learning experience for the Indian team as they strive for success in future competitions.
