IND vs SGP LIVE: What's next for India?

India now have three more matches left in this third round of the Asian Cup qualifiers. They face Singapore on October 14 at home, that will be played at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa. After that, they face Bangladesh in Dhaka on November 18 and then comes the final game against Hong Kong on March 31, 2026. If they manage to beat Singapore next week and Bangladesh next month, they will be in a very good position indeed.

IND vs SGP LIVE: Sunil Chhetri speaks

"It is going to be difficult, taking one game at a time. Playing against them at their home wasn't easy, going down to 10 men and taking a point wasn't easy. We still have three games left.

"(On the red card to Sandesh Jhingan) Didn't see replay, with what I could see, it was 50-50. The decision was given, it's gonna change, we had to play with 10 men. We have to go back and see what happened but it is what it is. "

Singapore captain Hariss Harun also spoke: "It was our own undoing. We took the foot off the pedal, should have gone for more goals when they went down to 10 men.

"We need to convert our chances into goal, control the game until the final whistle, cut out our mistakes because at this level they will pounce and we cannot give anything to them."

IND vs SGP LIVE: FULL TIME! India 1-1 Singapore

Well Singapore can't believe it. Boos ring around the National Stadium as soon as that final whistle went off, which is somewhat unfair. Singapore were fairly good today and while they may not have confirmed a place for themselves in the Asian Cup today, they are still among the favourites to make it. However, they will be kicking themselves. Singapore had tons of chances but could convert just one of them.

India are now on two points in three matches. They are smiling but they would know that it remains mathematically quite difficult for them to make it through to the Asian Cup. They are sitting third now on the table, Bangladesh below them and Hong Kong above them on second. Those two sides play each other in a short while in Dhaka. A victory for Hong Kong nearly cements their place in the Asian Cup, it will lift them to seven points and the top of the table.

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 1-1 SGP - Excellent block from Anwar!

Low cross from the right from Hami Syahin, Ilhan Fandi takes a touch and unleashes a shot. Anwar Ali throws himself at the Singaporean's feet to clear it.

Oct 9, 2025 06:49 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 1-1 SGP - GOAL! RAHIM ALI POUNCES ON A MISTAKE FROM SINGAPORE!

90th min: HOW ABOUT THAT! Huge mistake there from Jordan Emaviwe, practically plays Rahim Ali in. Emaviwe, who had come on as a sub in 79th minute, tried to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper Izwan Mahbud all the way from the right flank. No pace on it whatsoever, Mahbud helplessly comes off his line trying to clear it, Rahim Ali taps it past him and then runs the ball into the completely empty net. There wasn't a single Singaporean shirt even inside the box when Rahim Ali got that ball.

Five minutes of added time here and it is going to be an absolute humdinger.

Oct 9, 2025 06:44 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-1 SGP - Almost a second goal for Singapore!

Game slows down to a crawl with Singapore controlling possession. Then Nakamura suddenly charges down the left and puts in a vicious ball to the far post. Fandi is there, he can't keep it on target and well, the offside flag goes up.

Oct 9, 2025 06:39 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-1 SGP - Changes for both sides now

80th min: Chhangte is out and Udanta Singh comes on while Sunil Chhetri is replaced by Rahim Ali.

Oct 9, 2025 06:33 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-1 SGP - Big save from Sandhu!

73rd min: Fandi set free and he bombs down the inside left challenge with absolutely no Indian defenders around him. Sandhu comes out, makes himself big and keeps the shot out. Then he manages to block the ball when it is squared from the right. India them manage to see off some intense pressure from Singapore.

Oct 9, 2025 06:30 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-1 SGP - Changes for India

68th min: Macarton and Nikhil Prabhu have been replaced by Sahal and Tangri. Meanwhile, Singapore have settled themselves on the ball, the danger India had put them in about 10 mins ago a distant memory.

Oct 9, 2025 06:24 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-1 SGP - India causing some problems now

62nd min: But they are being hurt by their own clumsiness in the final third. Colaco charges down the left and into the box, takes a shot which is blocked. It falls to Prabhu right outside the box who fluffs his attempted volley. It falls nicely into the arms of the Singaporean goalkeeper.

Oct 9, 2025 06:17 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: Sandesh Jhingan, what in the world were you thinking

Another pointless foul and another yellow card and the masked defender, whose fitness India were fretting over, is off the pitch.

Absolutely deserved second yellow as well, and right as the second half started. Jhingan gets beaten on his feet and holds his man down. It's a poor reaction to some poor defending and the Indian centre back has only himself to blame for two really pointless fouls -- nowhere near the ball, nor in a position of danger -- and now India are down 10 men and a goal.

Oct 9, 2025 06:17 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-1 SGP - Almost a costly error from the Singapore keeper!

57th min: Oh Izwan Mahbud is incredibly lucky there. It was a free kick from the right, floated in for what looked like a routine catch for Mahbud. But the ball goes right through his gloves and then, fortunately for him, to a Singaporean leg. It is cleared away.

Oct 9, 2025 06:12 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-1 SGP - Some changes coming for India

51st min: Well, Jamil didn't bring on Sahal or Tangri at half time despite them seemingly getting instructions. Now it looks like Valpuia and Tangri are set to come on.

Oct 9, 2025 06:08 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-1 SGP - IT'S A RED CARD FOR SANDESH JHINGAN!

47th min: Jhingan blocks Fandi with a raised arm, the Singaporean goes down clutching his face and so does Jhingan for some reason. Players from both sides start remonstrating with the referee who takes out a yellow card. Waits for Jhingan to get up and once he does, he raises it and then the red card. From bad to worse for India. Jhingan throws his face mask away in anger as he walks off.

Oct 9, 2025 06:06 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: KICK-OFF in the 2nd half!

All right, second half kicks off. Can it get any better for India?

Oct 9, 2025 05:59 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: More on that goal...

On a second rewatch of that goal... Uwais is running away from the ball, because Fandi is running towards it. The Indian left back fails to notice that the man tailing him, Singapore winger Anuar, is now right behind him. That's a communication fail from the Indian defenders. That was a situation that needed Sandesh Jhingan to make the audible. Doesn't seem like it ever came. Tough break for India who now have to go on the offensive in the second half.

- Shashank Nair

Oct 9, 2025 05:58 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: A half to forget for India

That picture tells the story. India have hardly been able to get any kind of footing on this match thus far. One could argue that things might have been different had the referee not blown the whistle on Farukh around the 42nd minute but then that splitting hairs at the moment. Fact remains that India have been far inferior in this first half.

We can see Sahal Abdul Samad and Deepak Tangri getting briefings and then proceeding to warm-up during half-time.

Oct 9, 2025 05:54 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: HALF TIME! IND 0-1 SGP

Well how about that. India are the higher ranked team here but in these tournaments, those factors matter little as can be seen here. Singapore have been far, far better than India today. The Indians have hardly been able to get any kind of significant chances across in this first half. Khalid Jamil will need to give his wards a serious push now if they are to turn this around.

Oct 9, 2025 05:47 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-1 SGP - GOAL! Right at the stroke of half-time for Singapore!

45 + 1st min: That is a crushing blow for India. Straight ball from the halfway line by Hariss Harun, Anuar gets at the end of it with a diagonal run, leaving Uvais behind. Brilliant first touch for him to take it away from Sandhu and leaves it on a plate for Fandi to turn it in.

Oct 9, 2025 05:45 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-0 SGP - Farukh's break stopped by the referee!

42nd min: How about that for a call. Colaco does well to clear his lines, Farukh gives chase, kicks the ball away from one Singapore defender, another comes chasing and if Farukh had managed to get past him, Singapore would've been in a world of trouble as he was clear after that with Chhetri potentially to his left. However, the ref penalises Farukh for his challenge on Baharuddin. Replays show there was hardly any contact there for it to be called.

Oct 9, 2025 05:43 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-0 SGP - Where can India find a goal from?

Singapore have grown into this game. They haven't produced significant moments of threat. But it seems inevitable that those are also about to come. India for their part have stuck to the plan and defended deep within their own half. But with next to zero output offensively, one wonders where and how that crucial goal for Khalid Jamil comes from.

- Shashank Nair

Oct 9, 2025 05:41 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-0 SGP - Another great chance for Singapore

39th min: Nakamura with a defence-piercing pass down the right, Shawal Anuar nearly gets at the end of it in the box but Uvais comes in and blasts the ball out forwhat has to be the millionth corner for Singapore already in this match. Corner is taken short, shot comes in from outside the box on the right, Chhetri blocks it with his head and out for Singapore's millionth and first corner.

Oct 9, 2025 05:38 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-0 SGP - Good block from Prabhu!

35th min: Kweh cuts back from the left, Song gets at the end of it edge of the box and smashes in a shot. Nikhil Prabhu charged out hockey first rusher style and blocks it away.

Oct 9, 2025 05:36 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-0 SGP - India just can't get themselves on the ball

Thirty minutes in and Lallianzuala Chhangte has largely played without the ball. Most of India's forward movement has come through the right and occasionally through the middle of the National Stadium pitch. The winger has largely cut a lonely figure on the left. Even clearances from the Indian defence are veering towards the right side of the pitch. It's a missed opportunity for India to build up and stretch Singapore's back four.

- Shashank Nair

Oct 9, 2025 05:34 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-0 SGP - All Singapore as 30 mins go by

31st min: Well India are just not able to hold on to the ball at all the moment. At the same time, Singapore aren't really able to find a good finishing product with all the possession they have. India have had just 37 percent possession in the first half an hour of this match.

Oct 9, 2025 05:29 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-0 SGP - India on the backfoot now

26th min: Well, it has been all Singapore since then. India do well to keep the attacks away from their box. Singapore win a corner kick which comes from the left. Harhys Stewart gets at the end of it but can only head it into Sandhu's hands.

Oct 9, 2025 05:26 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-0 SGP - Good defending on either side of the field

Liston first charges down the left again, passes out to Farukh ahead of him who cuts back. But Harun stays with the Indian forward trying to receive that ball and clears it out. Which sparks a counter attack that is ended when Anwar anticipates the cut back from the right and intercepts.

Oct 9, 2025 05:24 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-0 SGP - A yellow for Jhingan!

20 mins: Sandesh Jhingan needlessly earns himself a yellow card. A high foot challenge to reach the ball is not taken too kindly by the referee. The Indian defence really needs to hold back on their full-blooded tackles today especially considering referees from this side of world don't take too kindly to that extent of physicality.

- Shashank Nair

Oct 9, 2025 05:21 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: IND 0-0 SGP - Gurpreet takes a hit

18th min: The ball is played through the middle of the Indian defence and Ikhsan Fandi chases it. Sandhu comes out to collect a ball just when Ikhsan slid in for it and the Indian goalkeeper is left a little winded from the impact. The linesman raises his flag for offside after all that.

Oct 9, 2025 05:19 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: India trying to find a way through the Singapore defence

India started the first ten minutes pressing the Singapore defensive line and generally outrunning their Southeast Asian rivals. But that energy has come down a gear or two and now the team is clearly set up in rigid lines of defense. A stray freekick nearly finds an Indian head around minute 15 but nothing comes off it. Those Indian set pieces will be crucial today.

- Shashank Nair

Oct 9, 2025 05:18 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: 15th min - CHANCE FOR INDIA!

And as has been mostly the case off late, it has come off a set piece and the man who was off target there was Rahul Bheke. Free kick won on the left, Liston sends in a vicious ball and Bheke meets it, but his header goes off target.

Oct 9, 2025 05:15 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: Good buildup fizzes out for India

14th min: Liston bombs down the inside left channel and passes it out front to Farukh. He then looks to cut back to absolutely no one in particular. The Singapore defender has an easy clearance. Good quick buildup followed by poor play in the final third. Age-old problem for India.

Oct 9, 2025 05:12 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: Slow stuff and then a sudden burst from Singapore

10th min: It seems pretty clear that Singapore want to keep this game's pace down to a snail's speed. Lots of back and forths between their centre backs before the ball goes to the goalkeeper. He suddenly launches an epic long ball that goes over the heads over everybody, the Singapore striker gives chase but Sandhu comes out to collect it before it can cause any damage. Tiki-Taka? What in the world is that?

Oct 9, 2025 05:09 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: A false attack from India

7th min: Well that was clumsy from Uvais. Liston charges forward with the ball on the left, Uvais on the outside ahead of him. Liston gives him the ball, only for the flag to go up. Uvais just wandered into the offside position.

Oct 9, 2025 05:07 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: Singapore with more possession in first 5 mins...

5th min: The ball has popped up in the air quite a bit in these opening minutes. India had a bit of any early foray but Singapore have looked far more secure on the ball after that.

Oct 9, 2025 05:03 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: KICK OFF!

Chhangte kicks the game off! India attacking from right to left on your screen in the first half.

Oct 9, 2025 05:02 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: The formations...

India are lining up as a 4-4-2. Chhangte is in fact sitting alongwith Chhetri up top, with Farukh on the left. Expect them to keep swapping positions though. Singapore are lining up as a 4-3-2-1 Ikhsan Fandi the main striker. Captain Harun and Safuwan Baharuddin are the centre backs. Look out for Nakamura, Song and Shahiran in midfield.

Oct 9, 2025 04:58 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: Time for the national anthems

First comes India's national anthem and then Singapore's. Singapore in their traditional red, India in their traditional blue.

Oct 9, 2025 04:56 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: Sandesh Jhingan on his injury, coach Jamil's impact and more

Jamil is only the third Indian to be appointed as the national team’s full-time coach in this century. “I think the Indian factor more is just for the language, I guess. The same mother tongue kind of helps,” said Jhingan, emphasising Jamil’s bigger impact was his innate ability to fill his players with confidence. Read more from our interview with the Indian defensive talisman here.

Oct 9, 2025 04:54 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: Hot and sticky today

The players are now in the tunnel, Singapore captain Hariss Harun is standing in front of the lineup. We see Gurpreet Singh Sandhu walking into the tunnel as well with the captain's armband. The great man who wore that armband for years and years walks up behind him. Sandesh Jhingan has a facemask on, having sustained fractured cheekbone in India's opening match of the CAFA Nations Cup against Tajikistan on August 29. The humidity is at about 74 percent, temeperature at 28 degrees celsius.

Oct 9, 2025 04:51 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: Same old issues for India to deal with

Despite the positive results at the CAFA Cup, the issues that have plagued the national team over the past two years continue. Open play goals are still hard to find. But hints of how India will play against Singapore, lie in the way they played in Tajikistan. The national team turned into a goal threat from set pieces after not being threatening on a football pitch for over two years. Read more from Shashank Nair's preview here.

Oct 9, 2025 04:47 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: The teams are warming up

Today's venue is the National Stadium in Singapore, which also serves as the country's, well, national stadium. It is quite the spectacle, a 55,000 seater stadium that is built like a dome and has a retractable roof. The roof is made of insulated material to reflect sunlight, although it probably won't be needed today because this match will be played in the night. It was the main venue of the 2015 Southeast Asian Games.

Oct 9, 2025 04:35 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: Sunil Chhetri starts!

Attack. That seems to be what Khalid Jamil is thinking of and that is exactly what India need to do here. Veteran Chhetri is up there, regardless of his age the fact remains that he is arguably one of the most reliable source of goals that India still have. But the rest of the firepower is noteworthy - Farukh Chaudhary in the forward line with Chhetri, Colaco and Chhangte to give India pace in the flanks and Macarton Nickson makes his debut along side Nikhil Prabhu in midfield. Remember, Singapore are not ranked higher than India and they are also top of this group. Even though this is their home match, one can expect them to be the more pragmatic side today.

Oct 9, 2025 04:20 PM IST

IND vs SGP LIVE: Head to head

In head to head stats, the two opponents are almost evenly matched with India having won 12 matches while Singapore have come out on top in 11 encounters. 4 matches have been draw.
