I am posting the video of the India vs Argentina match of the Nehru Cup in 1984.
As we know, some members of this Argentine squad, most notably Nery Pumpido, the goalkeeper, and JorgeBurruchaga, who scored the winning goal for Argentina in the final, made it to Argentina's World Cup squad in 1986. Maradona, of course, did not play in this match.
I'll never ever forget this match. I would have attended this final if it's in Hyderabad. At that time, I don't have enough money to travel all the way to Delhi.
Also people called we have entered Asian cup thru back-door. But North Korea, which is also part of this 2008 event, qualified to 2010 FIFA World Cup. Turkmenistan, Tajikistan & Myanmar had pretty much good squads during that time. In 2011, we were very unlucky to get 3 top Asian nations in our group ( S.Korea , Australia & Bahrain) . Bahrain is top Asian football nation during 2010-13.

@dhritiman7 had posted a shot clip of this match (1.31 mins.) where one can see the goal scored by Gareca in Page 2 of this thread (https://forum.indianfootballnetwork.com/discussion/170/videos-pictures-of-indian-football/p2) and @munna219777 had posted a pic of Prasanta Banerjee playing in this match in Page 14 of this thread (https://forum.indianfootballnetwork.com/discussion/170/videos-pictures-of-indian-football/p14)
But I don't think the video of the full match has been posted here before!
