Nehru Cup Football Tournament 2009, New Delhi, India

India l Lebanon 0-1

Goal Scored - Ali Al Saadi (LEB) 4'

Lebanonan Ali Al Saadi scored early goal through free-kick still defending champion Indians gave inspiring performance but that wasn't enough to scored goals ... In this match also Indians faced old problem of finishing ... Indians had ample chances of scoring goals but they couldn't manage.
