Gurpreet Singh: We matched Qatar's superiority with our own courage

Sandhu does not want to allow Qatar to find their rhythm...

Qatar's coach Felix Sanchez Bas looked stunned at the sidelines after India held them to a 0-0 draw in the 2022World Cup qualifiers in September 2019. His troops had scored at will against premium Asian sides like Japan but stumbled against India, a team not even in the top 100 of the FIFA rankings.

After the match, he singled out India custodian Gurpreet Singh Sandhu's heroic performance while bemoaning the chances that were spurned by his team.

"Kudos to the Indian national team and the goalkeeper who did not allow us to get the three points," he commented.
