14 Oct
Summary
- India loses second match of AFC Asian Cup 2025 qualifiers
- India now have only 2 points after 4 matches, must win next 2
- India dominated first half but failed to convert chances
On 2025-10-14, the Indian national football team suffered a major setback in their quest to qualify for the AFC Asian Cup 2025 as they lost 1-2 to Singapore at home. The match, which took place just last week, saw India start strongly and dominate the first half, creating several scoring opportunities. However, they were only able to convert one of these chances, with Lallianzuala Chhangte scoring a long-range goal to put India ahead.
Unfortunately, India's lead was short-lived as Singapore equalized just before halftime, taking advantage of a defensive lapse. The second half was a different story, with the visitors from Singapore proving to be the more dominant side. They eventually secured the comeback victory, scoring a second goal to seal a 2-1 win over the hosts.
This result leaves India in a precarious position in the AFC Asian Cup 2025 qualifiers. With only 2 points from 4 matches, they now face a must-win situation in their next two games to have any chance of securing a spot in the tournament. The team will need to regroup and find a way to bounce back from this disappointing loss if they are to keep their qualification hopes alive.
