Goals from Rowlin Borges, Sunil Chhetri, and Jeje Lalpekhlua made sure that India found their way into the AFC Asian Cup after an absence of eight years. Macau put up a brave fight and even equalized after the first goal but an own goal at the other end put the game outside their reach.

Yesterday, Asian Cup Qualifiers saw an entertaining match between India and Kyrgyz Republic, where the Indian football team captain Sunil Chhetri showed his class again and scored the match winning goal to help India register a 1-0 win. India's next qualifier is against Macau on September 5.

India got off to the perfect start in the Asian Cup Qualifiers through Sunil Chhetri who scored in injury time to secure a first win over Myanmar in 64 years. The Indian team were under pressure for most parts in the game but thanks to the heroics of Gurpreet Sandhu managed to keep a clean sheet.
