Afghanistan coach offers assistance to struggling Stimac

Afghanistan’s coach, Ashley Westwood, was chuffed when his motley crew upset India in a World Cup qualifying match played in their own backyard. He said that the visiting squad was “always the dominant” one and that they should have won even the first leg match, which finished in a goalless draw. Tuesday night, India suffered a humiliating 1-2 loss to the resilient Afghans, capping a terrible day for the national sport. Veteran striker Sunil Chhetri converted a penalty kick to score the only goal for the home side.

Even in our deficit, we never wavered in our confidence. To be honest, we had a chance to win the previous game as well. Regarding the first-leg meeting in Saudi Arabia, Westwood said, “We were always the dominant side in the match.” “I knew we would score, so I wasn’t under pressure at 1-0 at halftime,” he said.

Igor Stimac, the India coach, is facing a lot of criticism for the fiasco, but he has refused to resign, stating that he is on a mission that will last until June. The Croat is doing his hardest, according to Westwood. “I would never examine their actions…I won’t belittle him since, in his five years, he has accomplished a great deal. He stated, “People may attack me for this outcome, but I’m a competent coach who has shown that in his five years in charge and has developed the Indian side.

In June, India will face Kuwait and Qatar in the last two games of their second-round qualifying campaign.
