New Delhi [India], October 17 (ANI): After winning the SAFF Championship, India men's goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu on Sunday said that some winning moments are best enjoyed saying nothing.
Sandhu shared a picture of himself sitting with Sunil Chhetri on the winners' podium and he captioned the post as: "Some winning moments are best enjoyed saying nothing."
India convincingly defeated Nepal 3-0 at the National Football Stadium in Male, Maldives, on Saturday to clinch the SAFF Championship trophy for a record eighth time. Skipper Sunil Chhetri (48') opened the scoring before youngster Suresh Singh (50') doubled the lead within a minute to a two-goal lead for the Blue Tigers in the second half.
Super-sub Abdul Sahal (90') whizzed past the Nepalese defence to nail the final one in the coffin on the last minute of regulation time. Incidentally, this was Chhetri's fifth goal in as many outings during this campaign to finish at the top of the scoring chart.
Following their record-time eighth SAFF Championship victory, the Blue Tigers will now gear up for the AFC Asian Cup 2021 qualifying third round that is scheduled to kick off next year. (ANI)
