India beat Cambodia 3-2

Phnom Penh : The Indian men’s football team broke a 12-year-old jinx of not winning a match away from home as they beat lower-ranked Cambodia 3-2 in an international friendly here today.
Playing their first international friendly this year, world No. 132 India were given a tough fight by the Cambodians, who are 41 places below them. The last time India emerged victorious in an away international friendly was way back in 2005, when they beat Pakistan.
Stephen Constantine’s boys had a lacklustre first half but they regrouped in the second session to pump in two goals in the space of three minutes.
The win will boost the Indian side’s confidence ahead of their AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers first-leg match against Myanmar in Yangon on March 28.
Sunil Chhetri (35th minute), Jeje Lalpekhlua (49th) and Sandesh Jhingan (52nd) found the target for India, while Cambodia scored through Khoun Laboravy (36th) and Chan Vathanaka (62nd).
