Host Nepal beat defending Champion India in the last game of their group stage match. Victorious Nepal won by 2 to 1 against the nearest neighbor, in a very crucial match at Dasarath Rangashala Stadium. Anil Gurung and Jumanu Rai scored for Nepal whereas Syed Nabi made a consolation goal in the injury time. With that, Nepal advances to Semifinal, leading the group A and will meet either Maldives or Afghanistan (Tomorrows match will decide) on Sunday, September 8th 2013. In an another match held in Halchowk Stadium, Pakistan beat Bangladesh 2 to 1 due to which India also advanced to Semis with head to head advantage over Pakistan ( not forgetting the own goal).
Till the time I post some pictures from the match, here is our boys saluting the crowd.
