`Leader of the pack` Sunil Chhetri once again rose to the occasion with his 87th international goal as India won the Intercontinental Cup with a 2-0 victory over Lebanon in the final on Sunday. Lallianzuala Chhangte was another star from the summit showdown, who guided the ball to the net for a second goal of the evening as India enjoyed another clean sheet. This was India`s second title triumph in the tournament, following their win in the inaugural edition in 2018.
The 38-year-old talismanic captain, in the last leg of his career, first found the back of the net in the 46th minute of the title clash, breaking the deadlock right after play resumed following a goalless first half. 20 minutes later, India consolidated their position when Lallianzuala Chhangte, the provider of the first goal, found the target in the 66th minute, leaving the fans delighted and their 99-ranked opponents stunned.
