SAFF Championship 2023: Lebanon vs India: Where and how to watch in India?

The teams have already met twice in June.

The ongoing Bangabandhu SAFF Championship has been dubbed as one of the most competitive editions in the tournament’s history, and the frantic encounter between India and Kuwait was a testament to that.

It may have ended in heartbreak for the Blue Tigers, who were en route to a deserving victory until an unlucky Anwar Ali own goal led to a share of points, but head coach Igor Stimac revealed that the result has, in no way, dampened the spirits in the national camp.

“We are improving from game to game. We have a great mood whenever we step out on the training pitch,” said Stimac. “We knew that some time or the other, we were going to concede a goal. We didn’t expect it would happen with an own goal in the last minute. But that’s part of football, and you need to accept it.”

There was plenty of drama on and off the pitch in the final 10 minutes of the game, which saw three red cards – two for India (Stimac and Rahim Ali) and one for Kuwait (Hamad Al-Qallaf). The late equaliser led to theatrical reactions from the visitors’ bench, which celebrated by making aggressive gestures towards the Indian dugout. The West Asians’ behaviour was a moral victory in itself, according to Stimac.

“The important thing is that we dominated Kuwait in all aspects of the game. So, I’m really happy with the boys. We are now preparing for the semi-finals, and everything is going to be okay and in place there,” said the former Croatia international.

The Blue Tigers have put that result in the past, and the sole focus is now on the semi-final against Lebanon on Saturday. After already facing the Cedars twice in the Hero Intercontinental Cup in Bhubaneswar earlier this month, including in the final, India will head into the clash with confidence, but also with the intent to make it a perfect game.
