India make three changes as Nikhil Poojary replaces Jacki Chand, Balwant Singh comes in for Robin Singh and Amrinder for Subrata Paul. All three are making their international debuts.

Half Time: IND 1-1 MRI 

Louis Marco Dorza gave the visitors an early lead. Robin Singh has levelled for India. But the hosts would need a much better performance in the second half to win the match. 

GOALLLLLL! ROBIN SINGH MAKES IT 1-1 

Rowling Borges sends a perfect pass to Robin Singh and the striker levels the score. Robin was inder pressure from the  Mauritius defender but Robin maintained his calm and finished it with his left foot.  

35 minutes- It has been a tough start for India. Mauritius are playing better in the midfield and been control in the match so far. India need to wake up fast if they want to change the script.

30 minutes- ANOTHER MISS! Robin Singh's header fails to find the target after Narayan provides him from the left. 

27 minutes- Kevin Bru takes a shot from outside of the box but Indian goalkeeper Subrata Paul collects it easily. India still trail 0-1 

23 minutes- Narayan curls a free kick. Sandesh Jhingan came very close but misses the opportunity.

In the first 10 minutes, Mauritius have tried to build up attacks but so far they have not succeeded. Robin Singh has been the player to watch out for India. Still the score remains 0-0.

GOAL!  Louis Marco Dorza nets the opening goal for the visitors. After three consecutive clean sheets, India concede a goal.

20 minutes- good chance for India but Narzary slips.
