2022 World Cup qualifier: Igor Stimac - Effective running let India down against Oman, not fatigue

Igor Stimac discussed where it all went wrong for India after taking the lead against Oman ...

India suffered a disappointing reverse in their 2022 World Cup qualifying round two opener against Oman on Thursday. After being in the lead for 82 minutes, the Blue Tigers capitulated and conceded two goals to end up on the losing side.

Fingers were pointed at the fitness levels of the players but coach Igor Stimac dismissed these claims ahead of India's upcoming game against Qatar on Tuesday.

The Croatian believes that India's runs were not as effective as that of Oman and they were made to pay for this in the second half.
