Qatar cheater https://t.co/1eFUWhLEtv - 22:45 (IST)India vs Qatar LIVE: Compact positioningIndia have shown the same attacking intensity as they showed in the first half. It has been more about a compact defensive shape. However, Mehtab Singh went for the spectacular as he took a strong shot from outside the box but it was caught well by the goalkeeper.
- 22:36 (IST)India vs Qatar LIVE: Qatar posing a huge threatThere is no respite for the Indian football team defenders as wave after wave of Qatar's attacks continue to keep them busy. Once again, they produced a quick run down the wing but the final cross was caught by the skipper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.
- 22:29 (IST)India vs Qatar LIVE: India survive by a whiskerA mistake from Anwar Ali led to a brilliant attack from Qatar and the finish was just whiskers away! The first shot from the Qatar attacker was blocked and the rebound just missed the goal by a few inches. What a relief for Gurpreet!
- 21:57 (IST)India vs Qatar LIVE: Chhangte scoresLallianzuala Chhangte scores and it is 1-0 for India. Finally, the ball fell kindly for the Indian football team attacker and he completed an easy finish. A diagonal pass from Brandon found Chhangte in position and he made no mistake in foxing his marker and scoring a significant goal.
- 21:45 (IST)India vs Qatar LIVE: Back 4 having a good matchThe Indian football team defence has shown great promise in this match. Couple of good tackles and they have looked rock solid against the Qatar attack. However, India need a win to book their spot in the next round and that requires goals.

- 21:32 (IST)India vs Qatar LIVE: Two strikersIndia do not have Sunil Chhetri anymore and it seems like they have opted for a two-striker set up instead. Both Manvir Singh and Rahim Ali were chosen by coach Igor Stimac for this game and it will be interesting to see how they adapt to the system.
- 21:01 (IST)India vs Qatar LIVE: Scenarios explainedFor India, the ask is quite simple - Lose and their dreams of making the next round ends completely. If they draw, they will have to depend on Bangladesh and Kuwait to also draw their match. A win for any of the two teams will mean that India will miss out. A victory will guarantee India's passage to Round 3.
