Bangladesh ended a 22-year winless run against India with a 1–0 victory Tuesday in an AFC Asian Cup Qualifier, lifted by an early strike from Sheikh Morsalin. The forward scored in the 11th minute, finishing a low cross from Rakib Hossain after a quick counterattack at the National Stadium in Dhaka.
The win moved Bangladesh to third place in Group C with five points from five matches, while India remained bottom with two. India created several chances after halftime, including close attempts by Rahul Bheke and substitute Majhesh Singh, but failed to break through. Bangladesh goalkeeper Mitul Marma recovered from a first-half mistake as the hosts held firm under late pressure.
