Chhetri strike downs Bangladesh, keeps India’s Asian Games hopes alive

Beijing, 21/9: The Indian football team rode on a late Sunil Chhetri strike to beat Bangladesh by a solitary goal and stay alive for a place in the knockouts of the Asian Games here on Thursday.

The 39-year-old veteran scored from the spot in the 85th minute to help his team earn full points after the 1-5 hammering at the hands of hosts China on Tuesday. The Bangladesh goalkeeper dived the right way but could not do anything against Chhetri.
