After Fighting Show Against Australia, India Gear Up For Tough Uzbekistan Game
After a gritty performance against formidable Australia, India face Uzbekistan in their second group match of the Asian Cup in Al Rayyan on Thursday, aiming to assert themselves better than what they managed in the opening game. India lost to title-contenders Australia 0-2 in the opening match on January 14 after denying the Socceroos any success for 50 minutes. The Australians were at their attacking best but Sunil Chhetri's men managed to avoid a bigger margin of defeat. The defensive compactness, especially in the first half, would be something that the Indians would like to continue against the Uzbeks, who are a bit disappointed after playing out a 0-0 draw against Syria in their opening match.
