India Eye Victory Against Afghanistan In Last Push For CAFA Nations Cup Play-offs
India have played two, won one, and lost one against Tajikistan (2-1) and IR Iran (0-3), respectively, so far in the CAFA Nations Cup. The Blue Tigers are tied on three points with Tajikistan, and the former are ahead by virtue of a better head-to-head record. The top teams from each group will progress to the final, while the two second-placed teams will make it to the third-place match, both to take place on September 8.
As things stand, the Blue Tigers need a win against Afghanistan, and hope that Tajikistan do not win against Iran, to progress. A draw against Afghanistan may also be enough for India, if the match between Iran and Tajikistan also ends in a draw or an Iranian victory. However, a defeat will result in elimination, as Tajikistan, in such a scenario, would have the better goal difference in the matches played between the three teams who would end up on three points each (Tajikistan, India, and Afghanistan).
