India 1-1 Singapore LIVE Score, AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers: Chhangte Wonder Strike Cancelled By Uiyoung As Scores Level

After a foul by Kweh - which earns him a yellow - India win a free-kick right on the left edge of the box. Chhangte steps up the take the free-kick but hits it straight at the wall and behind for a corner.

The resulting ball from Mahesh is only partially cleared and almost fell for Bheke, who was through. The flag, however, goes up for offside. Replays, however, show that Bheke was well onside when the ball was played to him.

Both sets of players are out on the pitch, and Singapore get the second half underway. One change for Singapore as Ilhan Fandi comes on for Amirul Adli. No changes by Khalid Jamil, who will hope for more of the same from his side in search for the second goal.

The referee blows the whistle for half-time, and both sides are going into the tunnel with the scores tied up. India dominated the entire match, and had two-three decent chances to find the back of the net, but they will be disappointed to conceded with the final touch of the half.

Calamity at the back for India as Singapore find a way back in the match. A cross from the right-back towards Fandi is partially cleared by the defence, and it falls to Kweh, who lays it off for Song Uiyoung to smash it past the sea of bodies and into the bottom corner.

What a setup by India, and had Mahesh put the finishing touches, it would have been a stunning goal. Colaco did very well to take the ball down the flanks before finding Chhetri with the cross. The veteran forward opted to lay it off for Mahesh, but his shot was straight at the goalkeeper.

Chhangte has been, by far, India's best player so far. The winger put on the afterburners to receive the ball on the left flank and make his way into the box. He then cut it across the face of the goal, and the ball comes to Liston. On his stronger right foot, he has a shot with the goalkeeper out of the question, but Baharuddin makes a good goal line clearance.

The other contest between Hong Kong and Bangladesh have ended in a 1-1 draw. If the results stay like this, India will stay in second place. What they need is a big win to improve their goal difference, which will keep them in contention.

Kalid Jamil knows this, annd his side are looking to get the second goal as early as possible, with Chhangte looking like a man posessed.

Mr Lallianzuala Chhangte, take a bow!!! What a stunning strike from the winger to put the hosts ahead.

India's press bore fruit, with the Singapore's defence being picked by Chhangte. He takes the ball onto his left foot, and after steadying himself, lets out a bullet strike. Curling outwards, it beats Mahbud at full stretch and nestles in the top corner.

India are aiming for early deliveries to make us of the tall players in the squad, and Colaco almost provided just that from the right flank, but his ball was cut out by the defenders. For now, Singapore have been pegged back in their own half.

A very bright start from the hosts, knowing that a win can keep them in contention. The Indian backline have pressed the Singaporean forwards, especially Ikhsan Fandi, who has scored twice in two games against the Men in Blue. Apuia and Prabhu are not letting Singapore utilise the flanks at all, and, for now, no clear-cut chances have been created by the visitors.

After the national anthems and handshakes with dignitaries, the players have taken their formation on the pitch. Referee Mohammad Issa blows the whistle, Mahesh Singh gets the ball rolling in tonight's match. Stay tuned!
