Sunil Chhetri
India allowed a 10-man Bangladesh to come back and score a shock goal after talismanic captain Sunil Chhetri's 76th international strike to play out a 1-1 draw in their SAFF Championships opener here on Monday.
Chhetri, 37, playing in his 121st match for India, struck in the 27th minute to place himself just a goal shy of legendary Brazilian Pele (77 goals from 92 matches).
India had numerical advantage from 54th minute onwards after Bangladesh player Biswanath Ghosh was sent off for a foul on Liston Colaco. But Igor Stimac's men failed to stop the swift counter-attacking Bangladeshis and conceded a goal in the 74th minute.
