As the Twitter handle of Indian Football Team tweeted, “It’s unreal but it has happened in reality.”

The Floyd Pinto-coached side, India, managed to keep the 1-0 lead going into the half-time. Until the 70th minute, the score-line read 1-0 frustrating the Latin American boys, who then began to play some rough football.

Argentina’s foul on Rahim Ali gave India a free-kick. Football Club, Indian Arrows’ Anwar Ali took the free-kick and one tracer-bullet launched from his foot rattled the crossbar and landed into the net.

The Argentines finally broke the gritty defense of Team India as they scored in the 72nd minute.

The Indian goalie needed some medical attention before five minutes were added as extra-time. However, the Indians ensured they finished on the winning side. This win certainly would go as one of the greatest moments in India’s football history in the recent times.

After the senior Indian football team won the Intercontinental Cup this year, Indian football has begun to better with time. Even the junior teams have started producing upsets on the higher level.
