A late brace scored by Al Mandhar helped Oman set up a 2-1 comeback win against India on Thursday at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati.
India had Oman in check for most parts of the game but a lacklustre final 10 minutes turned the tables in favour of Oman. Brandon Fernandes' clever free-kick in the 24th minute set up an unmarked Sunil Chhetri inside the box whose neat strike gave India the lead. However, Al Mandhar got the better of the Indian defence twice late in the second half and steal a brace and set up a win for the away side.
