India vs Bangladesh football match today: Both teams make no goal in first half; where you can watch the clash live

India is underway in a clash with Bangladesh in their opening AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifier third-round match, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong.

The match kicked off at 7:00 PM IST as the Men in Blue look to build on their recent international win.

The Indian football team heads into this crucial encounter with confidence after a 3-0 victory over the Maldives in an international friendly at the same venue last week. This marked India's first international win in 489 days and also the maiden victory under head coach Manolo Márquez.


Adding to the excitement, Sunil Chhetri has made a dramatic return to the national squad. The 40-year-old forward, who is the fourth-highest goal scorer in international football, had previously retired from international duty but reversed his decision ahead of the Maldives game, where he found the back of the net.
