Belarus Beat India!
During the match, India faced a gruesome 3-0 defeat to Belarus at the Bahrain National Stadium in Riffa. With this defeat, the "Blue Tingers" ended its Bahrain tour with two defeats after losing 2-1 to the hosts earlier.
Igor Stimac's boys began the match at a steady pace as they managed to hold the Belarussian attack in the goalless first half initially. However, 94th ranked Belarus in the International rankings managed to find the back of the net on three different occasions on the night.
FULL-TIME! The game comes to an end, as Belarus take the victory on the night.
