The Indian football team were held to a 1-1 draw by Nepal in an international friendly at the Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu on Thursday.
Anjan Bista (36th minute) scored the opening goal from a failed back pass from the Indian defence as he ran past a charging Gurpreet Singh Sandhu to find the back of the net before Anirudh Thapa (60th) restored parity for India in the 60th minute.
The midfielder, who was brought on as a substitute by Igor Stimac, found the net from close range from a rebound after the Nepal custodian Kiran Limbu palmed away a fierce strike from Sunil Chhetri.
