While these substitutions did allow India to gain a bit more control of possession in the middle of the park, that also left spaces behind, which is exactly what Vietnam exploited in their third goal of the night. The India captain attempted to flick his header in off the far post, but missed by a mere whisker, as the referee soon blew his whistle signalling the lemon break. At the other end, Nguyen Cong Phuong of Vietnam was played into the Indian box on the left, and was looking to put in a dangerous cut-back, but Blue Tigers centre-back Sandesh Jhingan was on hand to avert the danger. Akash Mishra and Ashique Kuruniyan combined on the left to create a wonderful opportunity for India in the 26th minute. Chhetri's participation in the series by FIFA is different as India are yet to feature in a FIFA World Cup. The 37-year-old's legacy is already known to the whole world and his country following which FIFA has honoured the Indian captain with a series of three episodes available on FIFA+.
