After collecting a long ball from the middle of the park, Sabeeth cut in from the right side of Myanmar half to beat the home side goalkeeper with a fierce shot seconds before the end of normal time.
Bulpin's Comment
Bulpin praised the fighting spirit of his boys in front of a sizeable hostile crowd.
"We knew it would be a tough match. No doubt, the Myanmarese were technically better than our boys. But my boys came out with flying colours with 1-1 draw in front of 20,000 hostile crowd. We also missed three good chances," Bulpin said after the match.

Well said mate. They should explain what happened to that U16 team!
well even am not happy with bulpin's work..but one reason for the below par performance( even though we qualified <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->) is that this is still a team of 18-20 yr olds playing against mostly guys aged from 21-22...
at u-16 level they played at their own age group level..whereas here they have been promoted really quick to gve them exposure and to be honest they are justifying the exposure so far..all they need is a few more performers from the I league..
Myanmmar Fans pelted stones and bottles <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif" alt=":evil:" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: -->
In what was one of the worst displays of hospitality and hooligan behaviour at it's best, Myanmar fans allegedly threw stones and plastic bottles towards the Indian players when the two teams clashed in the Pre-Olympic qualifier at Yangon earlier this week.
With India having the upper hand on the back of a 2-1 win in the home leg, until the half-time the hosts had failed to make any change to the scoreline. It was when the Indian players were heading towards the tunnel that bottles and stones were directed towards them though the players escaped unhurt.
“Until the half-time, there was no police on ground and it was only when the match commissioner intervened that the security was better,” informed an Indian official who was an eyewitness to the scenario.
Kyaw Ko Ko scored in the 64th minute and decided to do away with his jersey in his celebrations which drew the referee’s ire with a second booking to reduce Myanmar to ten men.
“The red card incensed the crowd further and every time our player would go for a throw-in, bottles were thrown.
“After the match when the Indian Ambassador along with the match commissioner came to congratulate us, the crowd started pelting stones. Everyone had to cover their head and walk out of the field.
“The match commissioner mentioned to us that he shall mention about the incident in his official report to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC),” the source told Goal.com.
This is shameful..we are proud of our boys who were really up against a very hostile crowd and made it to the next round against a technicaly superior opponent who also has a super coach..no wonder bulpin said that his boys came out with flying colours!!!!!
I think while giving our analysis we sometimes forget what the real truth might be..

I dont think there is any difference between a 20 year old and a 22 year old. 19 year old messi is world's best plyer. it all depends on your skills and class and how hardworking and discipline you are
