India, Bangladesh share points 

India and Bangladesh have shared points in AFC Asian Cup Qualifying Opener.

The first-leg match of the AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers’ final round between Bangladesh and India, which took place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong Tuesday, ended at a goalless draw.

Both teams shared points after the draw.

Bangladesh dominated the first half with a lot of clear chances of scoring goals against India.

The match was highly anticipated as it showcased the talents of Indian captain Sunil Chhetri and Bangladesh's newcomer Hamza Choudhury.

Despite the excitement surrounding the match, both teams struggled to find the back of the net, leading to a frustrating evening for players and fans alike. 

Right from the first whistle, both sides exhibited a mix of nervous energy and hope. 

The 0-0 result means both teams are still in contention, especially with the other Group C fixture between Singapore and Hong Kong also ending in a scoreless draw.
