India vs Syria Highlights: India suffered a 0-3 loss to Syria in their second and final Intercontinental Cup 2024 match in Hyderabad. This meant that India finished last in the tournament, behind Mauritius on goal difference. Up against a side ranked 93rd in the FIFA world rankings, India conceded an early seventh minute goal. Despite creating many chances in the second half, it was Syria who scored the second against the run of play. A third goal in the 96th minute was the final dagger.

New head coach Manolo Marquez suffered his first loss as India coach, and he's yet to neither win a game nor see his side score a goal.

Here are the Highlights of India vs Syria, Intercontinental Cup 2024 from Gachibowli Athletic Stadium, Hyderabad:

India vs Syria LIVE: Thank you!
That's a wrap for our coverage of the Intercontinental Cup 2024. The Indian football team is in action again in exactly a month's time, as they take on Vietnam on October 9, before facing Lebanon on October 12. Manolo Marquez would hope to have a better grip on how his team functions by then.

India vs Syria LIVE: Positives
The only redeeming point to take away from these two Intercontinental Cup games will be that second half vs Syria. Yes, India conceded two late goals. But despite trailing, they created several chances and could've scored if they'd been more clinical.

A clinical performance by Syria tonight. They beat Mauritius 2-0, and they have demolished India 3-0. Despite India's best efforts in the second half, Syria were devastating on the counter-attack and made India pay for their lapses.
