Sunil Chhetri Becomes World’s 4th Highest Goal Scorer After Beating Pakistan
In a dominant display, India secured a resounding 4-0 victory over a fatigued Pakistan team, reminiscent of a Grand Slam match-up between a top seed and a qualifier.
The hosts’ dominant performance at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Wednesday was only marred by the sending-off of coach Igor Stimac.
India’s star player Sunil Chhetri scored a hat-trick, including two goals that were gifted to him, and Udanta Singh added a fourth goal with his speed on the wing. This victory allowed India to maintain their impressive form after winning the Intercontinental Cup in Bhubaneswar.
Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri is on the verge of reaching a significant milestone in his career. If he scores in the upcoming match, it will take his total up to 90 international goals.
Pakistan’s cricket team deserves credit for their valiant effort against India, despite losing 0-4. The team arrived in two separate batches earlier in the day, but still managed to take the field and put up an adequate fight against their in-form opponents.
The team managed to arrive at the stadium just before the required cut-off time of 6:00 pm for the 7:30 pm start. Despite the lack of training or practice time, the team was determined to give it their all.
In a stunning display of skill and precision, Chhetri led the charge as he scored the first goal of the game against Pakistan.
The Indian striker took advantage of a mistake by Pakistani goalkeeper Saqib Hanif, who fumbled the ball and left it exposed in front of the net. Chhetri wasted no time in seizing the opportunity and putting India on the scoreboard.
In this match, the second goal was scored just six minutes after the first. The scorer, Chhetri, faced a slightly tougher challenge this time as he had to beat the goalkeeper from the spot.
Despite heavy rain, the action continued without pause in the second half of the match. However, the game was disrupted three times by fans who invaded the playing field to greet Chhetri.
