SAFF Futsal Championship 2026: Late charge sees India share spoils with Nepal

Nonthaburi(Thailand), Jan 18(UNI): India fought back three times to secure a 3-3 draw against Nepal in their second match of the SAFF Futsal Championship 2026 at the Nonthaburi Stadium on Sunday, January 18, 2026.
Played over two high-intensity 20-minute periods, the contest was a fiercely competitive affair that went down to the final seconds as skipper Nikhil Mali drilled in the equaliser with less than a second remaining on the clock.
Both sides began on an even footing, probing cautiously while looking to exploit transitions. Nepal, ranked 114th in the world, struck first in the fifth minute with a superbly executed counter-attack. A swift switch of play from defence to attack exposed gaps in the Indian backline, allowing Bijay Shrestha to move the ball quickly from the left to Amit Lama on the right. Lama’s sharp one-touch pass found Bikrant Narsingh Rana unmarked inside the area, and he made no mistake with his finish.
