India finally finish 1-1 draw against Bangladesh
India National Football Team finally managed to avoid a defeat against the Bangladesh National Football team in their third group match of the Joint Qualification of the FIFA World Cup 2022 and AFC Asian Cup 2023 on Tuesday night.

Lag behind 0-1, Indian booters equalised the game at 89th minute with Adil Khan's header. Brandon's corner found Adil Khan near the post and the defender's powerful header bulged the net.

Earlier, Bangladesh National Football team has taken a 1-0 lead against India National Football team in their third group match of the Joint Qualification of the FIFA World Cup 2022 and AFC Asian Cup 2023 against upper-ranked India.
Saad Uddin netted the ball into Indian goalpost with a superb header at 42nd minute of the game making Salt Lake Stadium stunned on Tuesday night.

Jamal Bhuyan swings in a delightful free-kick towards the far post from the left flank. Bheke loses sight of Saad, Gurpreet failed to judge the ball correctly and could not collect the ball from the air thus Saad Uddin converts a free header into a goal making it 1-0.

The match kicked-off at 8:00 pm (BD local time) at the Salt Lake Stadium Yuba Bharati in Kolkata.
