The longstanding talisman of Indian football, Sunil Chhetri was a huge part of the history that India made last year – this screamer of a goal in the top corner being just one glorious part of it. It was the goal that gave Bengaluru FC the lead in the game and indeed the tie for the first time, spurring the fans to believe the I-League champions could be the first Indian club to make it past the semi-final stage of the AFC Cup.

They had to overcome their group tormentors Johor Darul Ta’zim to do so, and they did in style. Just take a moment to admire this beauty of a goal, and it’s sure to leave you smiling and optimistic about the future of Indian football.
