Indian Football Team Held By Malaysia 1-1, End 2024 Without A Single Win
The Indian men's football team will end the year without a win as it was held to a 1-1 draw by visiting Malaysia in an international friendly on Monday, extending head coach Manolo Marquez's wait for his first victory with the Blue Tigers. A howler from seasoned goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu saw Paulo Josue put Malaysia ahead against the run of play in the 19th minute but Rahul Bheke cancelled out the lead with his 39th minute header from a corner kick at the Balayogi Stadium. Going into the game, there was nothing to separate the two sides in head-to-head results with India and Malaysia having won 12 matches each and eight ending in draws.
