India are fresh from a monumental result, having earned a point against the finest side in Asia. A 0-0 draw against Qatar away from home followed a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Oman which resulted from a lack of concentration in the death despite a strong first-half performance.
The defeat was surely hard to take and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu echoed the thoughts of the dressing room when he explained that the result against Oman was disappointing.
“I think not getting the desired result (against Oman) was disappointing for us but now we have to focus on the next challenge and we are sure all the team members are looking forward to playing against a very good Qatar side and make sure we put up a good show,” he said.
