Intercontinental Cup 2018 Final: India vs Kenya, 5 Talking Points

#5 India's back-four

The Indian defense delivered a solid performance in the Intercontinental Cup final tonight

The second half comprised of bombarding attacks from the Kenyan side, which tested the resilience of the Indian defence.

For a moment or two, India looked to be on a constant back foot amid the rigorous attacking play from Sébastien Migné’s men, however, the men in blue had each and every Kenyan attack under control.

With Udanta, Thapa, Narzary, and even Balwant Singh falling back to help out the back four, the Blues managed to keep the ball away from their goal.

Combined with perfect coordinative communication with the goalkeeper, Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who made a couple of breath-taking saves that completed his hattrick of clean sheets in the competition.
