India ended their winless run at the SAFF Championship 2021 after a narrow 1-0 win over Nepal on Sunday at the National Football Stadium in Male, Maldives.
This was the fourth time that the Blue Tigers managed to win a game since Igor Stimac became the head of the team two years ago in May 2019. India have till now played 20 matches under the Croatian Coach's tutelage out of which they have won four times, lost seven matches, and drew nine times.
The Blue Tigers' first win came against Thailand on June 8, 2019, in the King's Cup in Buriram where Anirudh Thapa's strike had made the difference.
