India played out a 1-1 draw against Malaysia in a friendly match at the Gachibowli Stadium, leaving fans disappointed. India conceded an early goal due to a major error by goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu in the 19th minute. However, Rahul Bheke’s goal before halftime secured the draw. While avoiding defeat, the team’s performance has drawn significant criticism and frustration from fans.
A Year Without Win: Frustration and Disappointment
India’s winless streak, now stretching over a year, has disheartened supporters. Social media was abuzz with disappointment over the team’s inability to secure a win, with fans expressing anger at the lack of progress, especially against a rebuilding Malaysian side.
