India Slumps to a Heartbreaking 1-2 Loss Against Afghanistan in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

Sunil Chhetri's Goal Proves Insufficient in Crushing Defeat

India's hopes of securing a crucial victory in their FIFA World Cup Qualifiers campaign were dashed as they succumbed to a disappointing 1-2 loss against Afghanistan. Despite Sunil Chhetri's valiant goal, India's overall performance fell short against a determined Afghan side.

In a match that was widely anticipated as a potential six-pointer, India's chances were extinguished as Afghanistan struck twice to secure a narrow victory. The loss leaves India with a significant setback in their quest for a berth in the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

Afghanistan's triumph extends their dominance over India in head-to-head encounters, adding to the pressure on the Indian team to improve their performance.
