90' Additional Time: 8 Minutes

88' WHAT A MISS! Biggest opportunity of the game so far and again India have missed a golden chance to go into the lead. India get a corner and it is an inswinging one from the right. The ball is flicked on at the near post from Chhetri and finds its way to Subhasish Bose at the far pole. He blazes it over the bar and Sri Lanka escape narrowly.

75' The game has turned into bit of a midfield battle as both teams vie for the possession.

68' Substitution for India: Farukh Chaudhary replaces Anirudh Thapa

68' Substitution for India: Sahal Abdul Samad replaces Liston Colaco.

60' Closer and closer! This time it was Anirudh Thapa. India attack down the left with Mandar Rao Dessai, who whips in a low cross. Thapa stretches in an attempt to guide the ball into the back of the net but it just evades him and the ball is put behind for a corner.

52' Chance wasted! India press and win the ball high up the field. Udanta is released on the right, he goes past his man with ease and has ample amount of time to pick the right pass. Udanta looks to whip the ball in with power but overhits it and the ball goes out for a throw-in.

46' Second-half kicks-off.

46' Substitution at half-time for India: Mohammed Yasir replaces Suresh Singh Wangjam

HALF TIME: India 0-0 Sri Lanka

Additional Time: 1 Minute.

42' Suresh Singh is booked. Singh goes in an attempt to win the ball but takes out Sri Lankan man Duckson instead, in a very rough challenge. The referee brings out the card and cautions the Indian midfielder.

31' An opening but India could not make the most of it. Colaco steals the ball in midfield and looks to attack the backline of Sri Lanka. Chhetri makes the run behind the defence but Colaco fails to slide the ball in between the lines for his skipper.

22' MISS! Udanta Singh whips in a pin-point ball from the right to find Liston Colaco, who was left stranded in the Lankan box and just had to keep the header on target but somehow skews it over the goal.
