India ended their King’s Cup 2019 campaign on a winning note with the Blue Tigers edging hosts Thailand in the bronze-medal clash.
The win will be remembered for being Igor Stimac’s first victory as India coach and it helped the team complete a recent double over the War Elephants. Just five months ago, India had recorded a historic 4-1 win over Thailand in their 2019 AFC (Asian Football Confederation) Asian Cup campaign opener in the UAE.
The second win over Thailand is only a continuation of India’s formidable record against ASEAN and South East Asian countries in general over the past few years.
