Very few positives to take from the game. Against a weaker side on paper, a Sunil Chhetri-less India failed to score. Very few chances of note either from the men in blue.

India vs Mauritius LIVE: Penny for Manolo's thoughts
India may not be losing, but viewers could feel that India have once again underperformed against a side that is ranked 55 spots lower than them. In fact, it can be argued that Mauritius have been the brighter team.

It would be interesting to see how Manolo Marquez sends his boys out in the second half.
