Saudi Arabia had two victories and a draw as they placed second in Pool B, just behind Iran.

The Indian men’s football team started in a 4-4-2 shape and defended deeply while wearing its characteristic blue uniform. In the meantime, Saudi Arabia played long balls into the Indian half to exert pressure on the Indian defense. The seasoned Sandesh Jinghan-led Indian defense stood its ground to repel the Saudi forwards.

While Saudi Arabia had the majority of the possession, India used counterattacks to create two good chances just before the 15-minute mark.
