#3 No red card
There was a bit of physicality in this match from the Sri Lankans especially in the first half. Their approach seemed to be to not give the Indians time on the ball.
Yet in their efforts to hurry the Indian players and let them know that they weren't going to go down without a fight, some of the tackles were downright dangerous.
One of these transgressions was particularly nasty and could have, rightfully should have seen the Sri Lankan player receive his marching orders for what was an atrociously shocking tackle.
In the 28th minute, India midfielder Anirudh Thapa was hacked down from behind by Lanka's Asikur Rahman. To put it bluntly, it was less a tackle and more a careless two-footed lunge from behind into Thapa that left the Indian midfielder a bit dazed as he crumbled to the ground.
Rahman was shown a yellow, but a different coloured card should have been produced here.
