India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Highlights:

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Highlights: A breathless first half ended goalless with India making a good start to the match and Syria then dominating towards the end. The second half has started off ominously for India with the very important Sandesh Jhingan picking up an injury and being taken off for Nikhil Poojary. The second half was almost as frantic as the first half with both sides coming close to scoring at various points. However, it was Syria who broke the deadlock with substitute Omar Khrbin scoring in the 76th minute. India attacked right until the last second of the match though but in the end, they lost 1-0. It meant that India have been knocked out the 2023 Asian Cup without scoring a goal or winning a point. ...Read More

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: FULL TIME! India 0-1 Syria

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: The ref blows the whistle with the Syrian players asking him to do that instead of asking them to take a goal kick. Their bench stream on to the field, it is a historic moment for a country that has had so, so very little to celebrate in the last decade and more. India can walk off the field with their heads held high. They threatened right till the last second of the match, the only things missing really was the finishing move, which seems to be a plague that India just can't find a cure for. India finish the tournament off with no points or goals, which is not a good look on them at all. But it hasn't been for the want of trying. Everyone knew that they have been handed a devilish group and the fact that they managed to make Australia work for their goal and keep Syria on their toes right till the end is credit to them. The match in between against Uzbekistan, well that's one to forget isn't it. A mixed bag in the end for India, hopefully a bag that'll be useful for them when the World Cup qualifiers comes around later this year, which Stimac said is their real target. That's it from us here as well, thanks for joining!

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: 62 mins | Well, well, well, Akash Mishra could've just kicked the ball out of play in his final third but instead he starts running from right to left and the ball drifts away from him, cross comes in from left to right and Khrbin with a free header and he puts it over the bar. That should've gone in, and he knows it.

Jan 23, 2024 6:14 PM IST

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: HUGE CHANCE FOR INDIA!

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: 55 mins | Oh the Syrian goalkeeper gets away with a huge error. He runs out of the inner box to collect a nonchalant ball, spills it and the only reason why that hasn't resulted in a goal is because there was a Syrian defender shadowing Chhangte. Corner for India that comes to nothing.

Jan 23, 2024 6:12 PM IST

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: Chance for Syria!

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: HALF TIME! India 0-0 Syria

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: Sunil Chhetri had the final say in this half, smashing a shot from distance after the ball fell loose. It was well wide of the target and that is that. Well that was a first half in which breath came at a premium. Meanwhile, Australia are leading 1-0 against Uzbekistan at half-time. That result has no bearing for India but it is quite an important one for Syria. Because it means that as things stand, if Syria manage to beat India, they will overtake Uzbekistan to second place and secure a place in the knockouts.

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: 27 mins | Well Stimac was asking the referee to go for VAR and now it is the Syrians' chance to ask for the same. Ramadan goes for a shot and Tangri puts a foot in. Ramadan ends up kicking Tangri's foot and he goes down.

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: 25 mins, tempers flare!

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: Mahesh brings down Oues and the latter gets up and absolutely clatters into him. The Indian bench is calling for a red card and they really do have a good case for it, Mahesh would've had the wind knocked out of his lungs because of that and it was totally an off the ball incident. A moment of madness there from Oues. The ref, though, gives him a yellow. Mahesh also gets a yellow, no arguments against that either, it was a rash challenge.

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: SHOT FROM MAHESH!

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: Oh brilliant from Mahesh, receives the ball in the box left side of goal, gets past Aiham Ousou with a lovely piece of skill.

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: What needs to happen for India to qualify

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: Al lright then, time to do some number crunching so strap in, kids. The basic requirement is that India have to win this. Anything less than that and all the equations are out of the window, India will finish fourth in their group, as they did in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup. India currently may be outside the top six but if it remains as it stands right now, a win today can help them overtake China, who are right now in third place. In Group C, Palestine take on Hong Kong. Palestine could finish in the top two of their group with a win but even if that doesn't happen, a win for them would guarantee that Group C's third-placed team would be above India.

In Group D, Indonesia are flying high, they are currently placed second among third-place teams. However, they are facing the mighty, and bruised, Japan today. In the other match in the group, Vietnam, a threat for India, face Iraq. The best case scenario from an Indian perspective in this group would be a big win for Japan, which is entirely possible considering they could be looking to make amends for that defeat to Iraq which made global headline, and Iraq avoiding defeat against Vietnam.

In Group E are the best third-placed team at the moment - Bahrain. Malaysia are up against South Korea in the other match in the group and so that means a big defeat could be in store for the former. The best case scenario for India would be Bahrain losing to Jordan today and Korea beating Malaysia. In Group E are Oman who are the fourth best third-placed team and they face Kyrgyzstan. This is tricky for India as a victory for either side would be bad news and so the best case scenario for them would be them playing out a draw.

Easy, right?

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: The best third-placed teams - how India fare

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: Even the biggest of wins today cannot guarantee India a spot in the knockouts as it is impossible for them to finish in the top 2 of their group. Which means they will have to be one of the four best third-placed teams across groups to get a spot in the knockouts. At the moment India have a goal difference of -5, which means they don't even come in the top six of the best third-placed teams.

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: Hello and welcome!

India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Live Score: India have not scored a single goal and conceded five and yet, if the stars miraculously align today, they can still book a historic spot in the knockouts. Up against them are Syria, the closest team to India in the FIFA rankings in this group and thus the one that they have a chance to get a positive result against the most. But the Indians have a proper uphill struggle up against them. Both sides may not have scored a single goal but Syria conceded only one while India have shipped five. This means that India simply have to win this match, and then hope for a few other things to go their way, to qualify for the next round.
