#5 Pronay Halder's stunner puts the icing on a five-star performance
Sunil Chhetri completed his hat-trick just a couple of minutes after the hour mark when he scored from inside the box after a good set-piece buildup by the Indian side. A brilliant wat to cap the performance from the Indian skipper who appeared in his 100th match for the national side.
The Blues kept exploiting the weak Chinese Taipei defence with good through balls utilizing the pace of the attack well with Udanta and Ashique on the wings. Just 12 minutes before the full time, Pronay Halder scored a stunning strike from the left side, cutting in on his right foot and curling it into the top corner just managing to beat the diving Pan in the Taipei goal.
The 5-0 win puts India in the driving seat in the Intercontinental Cup and they will next take on the African side Kenya on June 4 in Mumbai.
