Bharat sealed a narrow 1-0 win vs Bangladesh in their second fixture of the ongoing Asian Games 2023, at the Xiaoshan Sports Centre in Hangzhou, on September 21. With the win, Bharat put their campaign and their fate for qualification firmly back into their own hands, with a final game against Myanmar to be played on September 24. Over 6,000 kilometres away, the Blue Colts took barely a minute to break the deadlock against Bangladesh’s U19, but in Hangzhou, things were different.
