India go down without a fight

NEW DELHI: An unimpressive display by India U-23 Men’s Football contingent saw them surrender without a fight to United Arab Emirates as they went down 0-5 in their opening Group G match of in the Asian Games in Incheon.

The winners, who scored the first three goals within 20 minutes, led 3-0 at the interval.

Rival skipper Saeed Alkatheeri notched up a hat-trick which included two Headers with the Indian defenders looking helplessly. Al Ahbabi scored a brace to complete the rout.

The Indian side lacked vision on the field. There wasn’t much understanding while defending; there wasn’t much understanding either while attacking. The series of mispasses, the ineffectiveness on the wings and the sluggish midfield losing almost every battle for the ball made matters tough as a ruthless UAE took control.

All the goals were conceded from counter attacks with the India back four of Pritam Kotal, Sandesh Jhinghan, Joyner Lourenco and Narayan Das lacking cohesion.

It all started in the 14^th minute when Alkatheeri stooped low to his left and tucked in a cross from the right. Two minutes on, the Captain was at it again this time diving acrobatically to meet a cross from the same area.

It was 3-0 by the 20^th minute when Al Ahbabi converted from close.

Stung, India tried to fight back. Sunil had a penalty appeal turned down after he was hacked down inside the area, while right back Pritam tried his luck from 35 yards with a stinging effort which the keeper somehow clung on to.

Changing over, any slim hope of a daunting comeback went up in smoke when four minutes into the hour mark the 2012 Olympics Qualifying Team rode their flying No 10 to the fourth goal. Alkatheeri slid in to tuck the ball in between Amrinder’s legs after a good pass from the right channel once again found him at the right place.

Coach Wim Koevermans ringed in a change in the hope of some pride to be restored with Shillong Lajong’s Seminlen Doungel replacing ineffective Dempo man Mandar Rao Desai in the 72^nd minute. The former East Bengal forward almost made an immediate impact with an angular effort that flew inches over the frame.

Captain Sunil followed him on moments later getting on the end of a delectable ball from the defence. But uncharacteristically the AIFF Player of the Year’s shot was meek giving the advancing keeper no problems whatsoever.

UAE notched their fifth in the dying minutes of the one sided tie, this time Al Ahbabi riding luck to his double when his tamely drilled attempt past Amrinder was helped on its way by Sandesh on the goalline.

India next play Jordan on September 22.

INDIA: Amrinder Singh, Pritam Kotal, Sandesh Jhinghan, Joyner Lourenco, Narayan Das, Pronay Halder (Lalrindika Ralte – 12^th), Siam Hanghal, Francis Fernandes, Mandar Rao Deasi (Seminlen Doungel – 72^nd), Sunil Chhetri, Robin Singh.

Maldives 0

NEW DELHI: India began their campaign in the Incheon Asian Games on a high when the Indian Women’s Football Team came up with a dominating performance to pump in more than a dozen goals past Maldives to win 15-0 in their first Group A match on Sunday (September 14) and move a step closer to a quarterfinal berth in the Competition.

Five-star performances from winger Sasmita Malik and midfielder Kamala Devi underlined India’s dominance in a match where their counterparts failed to register even a single shot on goal.

Captain Bembem Devi, strikers Bala and Prameshwori Devi alongwith defender Ashalata Devi also got on the scoresheet. It was such a lopsided encounter that goalkeeper Aditi Chauhan would rue not netting one.

The Indian women who led 9-0 at the interval next play hosts South Korea on September 17 while their last Group League match is against Thailand on September 19.

The twice SAFF Champions seized the initiative right from the kick-off as they dominated proceedings all throughout in the completely one-sided encounter. The flurry of passes, the slowing down of the game at will, the sudden bursts of speed and the quick interchanging proved too much for the Maldives women as they surrendered meekly.

Meanwhile, the Indian U-23 Men begin their campaign on Monday (September 15) when they take on a strong United Arab Emirates, the silver medalists of the last Asian Games held in Guangzhou in 2010. The kick-off of the match is at IST 1.30pm.

However, the last time the two Teams met in the AFC U-22 Championships in Muscat, the match had ended 1-1.

Coming to the goals, it was as early as in the 5^th minute when Bembem– who by the end of the match was the architect of almost all the goals – picked out Sasmita on top of the box, with the fleet footed left winger then turning her marker to smash a powerful shot low to the keeper’s right.

Midfielder Kamala doubled the tally for the blue shirts 12 minutes later with fine strike from inside the area after combining well with Bembem.

In form striker Bala made pulled away further from their lacklustre counterparts in the very next minute, placing the ball onto the roof of the net from a Tuli Goon cross from the right.

Three minutes later, Sasmita got her second this time scoring off the rebound after Prameshwori Devi had forced the keeper to a diving save.

It was only the 21st minute of the match and the all of Maldives’ players were drafted inside their own half to stop the carnage.

But nothing was going to work as Kamala heaped on more misery in the 23^rd minute turning well to beat her marker and firing low off another Bembem put-through.

Sasmita notched up her hattrick in the 26^th minute and by the half hour mark Kamala did the same. By the time it was halftime Bala was at the double and Kamala had scored her fourth as India went into the break leading by 9 goals.

Ashalata joined the fun after the break with Bembem deservingly netting one too as India gave the scorers at the ground a harrowing time.

Kamala scored her fifth in the 66th minute, Bembem again turning provider to tee up her state mate. 

Sasmita crowned her superlative showing with a dipping free kick in the 80^th minute from 25 yards. She was not done yet, turning in her fifth seven minutes on. Prameshwori completed the rout in added time.

Born to Indian parents in Nepal and brought up in Nigeria and Italy, before moving to Delhi at the age of 12 in 2010, Abneet has made giant strides as he succeeded in earning a youth contact in Singapore at just the age of 13 with top tier outfit Geylang United’s U14 team following a two-week trial. Geylang United was also a part of the prestigious IFA Shield 2014.

Abneet owns an Indian passport, but was forced to move to Singapore with his family where he was spotted by the scouts of the club while playing for an academy.Abneet impressed one and all and such was his progress that the team offered Abneet a contract for the U-16 team even before he turned 15, which he gleefully accepted, but soon after, sealed a move to an even bigger club and one of the premier clubs in Singapore in Balestier Khalsa FC as a member of their U-16 team.

Two first half goals on either end in the space of two minutes saw the match end in the balance for both the outfits. East Bengal surged ahead through Feroz Ali in the 20th minute, Ali stabbing home from close. But response from the 2013 SAFF Champions, who recently beat Dutch heavyweights FC Twente in their Holland sojourn, was immediate as a good move down the left resulted in the opponents handling the ball inside the area for the referee to point towards the spot. Seasoned penalty taker Prosenjit Chakraborty – who scored thrice from the spot in a single Asian Champions Trophy tie – stepped up and made no mistake beating the keeper low to his right. Change of ends saw so change of the scoreline as both teams went gung-ho for the elusive winner in the dying minutes.
