The fourth matchday of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers saw Igor Stimac’s India escape with a hard-earned 1-1 draw against Bangladesh at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Tuesday.
A Saad Uddin header had given visitors Bangladesh the lead in the 42nd minute, but India rescued a point with two minutes left to play when defender Adil Khan headed home for the Blue Tigers.
Though it was an underwhelming display from the home side who had held AFC Asian Cup 2019 champions Qatar to a goalless draw in Doha last month, one positive that India can take from the game was the support they received at the Salt Lake Stadium.
