By switching the ball to the flanks and using their dangerous wingers, India sought ways to build a game from the back. The Kyrgyz Republic, on the other hand, remained compact and was ready to strike India. Their possession was sometimes sloppy, leading to conflict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\" data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"55d01764-5325-4d44-ab4e-d2c9ac23a840\">Brandon Fernandes\u2019 free-kick found Sandesh Jhingan, whose close-range effort found the back of the net as a reward for the Blue Tigers\u2019 pressure. In the first half, both sides lacked fluidity, but India headed into the halftime break with a 1-0 lead. Throughout the second half, the White Falcons dominated the Indian defence. Gurpreet Singh Sandhu was called to action twice. The Blue Tigers, led by Jhingan, were stubborn and kept a clean sheet during the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian men\u2019s national team defeated the Kyrgyz Republic 2-0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":316,"featured_media":34659,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1900,2571],"class_list":["post-12275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-all-india-football-federation","tag-igor-stimac"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
