India U-23 1-0 Pakistan U-23 – Five talking points

Robin mixed bag

Ad
Robin got himself unnecessarily sent off

The Bengaluru FC forward had a very eventful outing as he initially got credited for a goal he never scored and also got needlessly sent off, which could have cost his team. Robin’s physical presence and height always gives India an extra dimension in attack and that was the case in this game also. He looked quite sharp in the first half and should have had an assist when he found Lalrindika Ralte unmarked in the box. Just before the break his header from a Ralte corner hit the woodwork before hitting Sunil Chhetri and going into the back of the net. Surprisingly Robin was given the goal but he was the villain in the second half as despite being on a booking he showed intent to foul Pakistan left back Ahsan Ullah off the ball and thus was shown a second yellow.
