SAFF Championship 2021: India's Igor Stimac responds to Nepal coach over 'celebration dance'

Igor Stimac was a relieved man after India beat Nepal 1-0 in their third match of the SAFF Championship 2021 at the National Football Stadium in Male, on Sunday. The win put them in the third position in the table with five points from three matches and in contention for a spot in the finals.

However, the Croatian was visibly concerned with the way the forwards missed chances throughout the match. Even Sunil Chhetri wasted a couple of them until he scored in the 82nd minute.

What did Igor Stimac say?

"I am very happy with the three points, which is keeping us until the very end with a great possibility of finishing in the finals.
