In this match defenders put us down ... We started well attacking Bahrain goal from the start ... But stupid foul by Indian captain Climax Lawrence inside penalty box gave Bahrain side spot-kick and Faouzi Aaish easily scored ... Immediately after 3 mins Gouramangi Singh scored equaliser from close range when Abhishek Yadav directed header towards him from long pass through Renedy Singh ... At that time we played very spirited game but our defence were keeping too many spaces and Ismaeel Abdulatif take full advantage before scoring hattrick in 20 mins to gave winning lead to Bahrain side ... In early of second half Sunil scored goal through header to gave some hope to Indian fans ... Then in 61st minute Faouzi Aaish was red carded for unnecessary diving as he take second yellow card of the match ... But Indian failed to utilise this advantage of having extra legs on the field ... 13 mins before end of the game Ismaeel Abdulatif scored his 4th goal as another mistake from defender to gave comfortable win over Indians.
