IND vs BAN, AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers, Highlights: India vs Bangladesh Ends 0-0

Ind vs Ban live score: The game ends 0-0 at full-time and the points are shared between India and Bangladesh. A cagey affair but no winner. 

Ind vs Ban live score: Can anyone find a winner in the 5 minutes of injury time? 

Ind vs Ban live score: Oh dear, Chhetri. A cross from Mahesh finds him unmarked and he has time to take a touch, but goes for a first-time header that he badly mishits. A shocking attempt from the veteran. 

Ind vs Ban live score: 10 minutes to go and the game somehow remains without a goal. Can either side somehow find a winner? 

Ind vs Ban live score: A Liston Colaco corner finds Bose slam a header that only just goes wide. If only… 

Ind vs Ban live score: A speculative effort from Subhasish Bose very nearly trickles in under the crossbar. That's arguably the closest India have come. 

Ind vs Ban live score: Manolo Marquez introduces fresh legs in a bid to maybe stretch the Bangladesh defence. Suresh Singh Wangjam and Naorem Mahesh Singh come on for Ayush Chhetri and Udanta Singh. 

Ind vs Ban live score: CHANCE! Chhetri gets on the end of a corner kick from Colaco and his header seems headed for the goal but Hamza Choudhury blocks it. Big handball appeals from the India skipper but replays suggest that would have been harsh. 

Ind vs Ban live score: Colaco does well to fashion space on the left wing and whip in a cross that just about evades the on-rushing Sunil Chhetri. THAT was close! 

Ind vs Ban live score: Whereas the first half saw plenty of chances fashioned, that hasn't been the case so far in the second half. 

Ind vs Ban live score: The game has seen less risk taking so far but the edge remains, as tackles continue to fly.

Ind vs Ban live score: The second half is underway. A surprisingly open game it has been thus far - will either team manage to get a goal? 

Ind vs Ban live score: The message from both head coaches will be that this game is there for the taking. Whether anyone can conjure up a goal is an altogether different matter…

Ind vs Ban live score: The game remains goalless - somehow - at half time. An open game but a lack of clinical finishing means the scoreboard hasn't been troubled. 

Ind vs Ban live score: Liston Colaco goes for the Olympico i.e. a goal directly from a corner and very nearly succeeds. On the counter, Bangladesh are denied thanks to a good save from Vishal Kaith. 

Ind vs Ban live score: The word of the half so far has been wastefulness. Both teams have failed to convert their chances, especially Bangladesh.

Ind vs Ban live score: A dangerous cross after a second wave of attack from a corner sees Bangladesh get two forwards unmarked but they somehow squander a header from 6 yards out. 

Ind vs Ban live score: Oh dear! Another calamity moment from Vishal Kaith and he requires a goalline clearance from Subhashish Bose to prevent a certain goal.

Ind vs Ban live score: The Blue Tigers have found their groove and Bangladesh are happy to sit back and absorb the pressure. Hamza Choudhury has also not seen the ball as often.

Ind vs Ban live score: Goalkeeper Vishal Kaith slips not once but twice and Bangladesh very nearly scored early. 

Ind vs Ban live score: While India have a superior head-to-head record against Bangladesh, the last three games between these sides have featured two draws. And that isn't good news for India as they can ill-afford any dropped points. 

Ind vs Ban live score: Ahead of the India vs Bangladesh game, the latter team's skipper Jamal Bhuyan made a huge statement on Hamza Choudhury. 

"Sunil [Chhetri] is a very good player. He has done a tremendous job for his country. But let's be honest: Hamza is a Premier League player."

Ind vs Ban live score: India head coach Manolo Marquez has said their gameplan won't change to accomodate Hamza. 

“In the end, the approach to every game is very similar. If you play against Bangladesh, against Maldives, or against another team, obviously, we are always expecting the best version of the opponent,” he said ahead of the game. 

Ind vs Ban live score: Bangladesh will field Hamza Choudhury in their line-up, and his story is an amazing one. Read more about the England-born midfielder who has won the FA Cup with Leicester City here. 

Ind vs Ban live score: Bangladesh's line-up is as follows - Topu Barman (captain), Md Ridoy, Shekh Morsalin, Hamza Choudhury Sahariar Emon, Rakib Hossain, Shakil Topu, Mitul Marma, Tariq Raihan Kazi, Mojibor Jony, MD Saad Uddin

Here's how India line up in this crucial game. As expected, Chhetri starts for India. 

Ind vs Ban Live Score: "There are six games and we need to finish first. We want to get the maximum points possible to qualify for Saudi Arabia," said India head coach Manolo Marquez ahead of the game.

Ind vs Ban Live Score: The good news for India, a goal-shy team, is the return of skipper Sunil Chhetri - their record all-time goalscorer. And his form will be key to the team's fortunes. 

Ind vs Ban Live Score: Bangladesh at home will be the first of 6 fixtures India will need to play to make it to the AFC Asian Cup 2027.

Ind vs Ban Live Score: India are in a group with Bangladesh, Singapore and Hong Kong - and will need to top the group to qualify.

Ind vs Ban Live Score: For India, this game begins the third round of AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers. And they will need to top Group C to qualify.

Ind vs Ban Live Score: EPL player Hamza Choudhury, who will be making his debut against India at the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers, will have a lot of attention in the game as he is considered as a big threat to the Blue Tigers.

Ind vs Ban Live Score: Sunil Chhetri reversed his decision to retire, and he looked hungry to score. The India captain netted a beautiful header upon his comeback, which would give a huge boost to his morale.
