&ldquo;I would say it was a good game with lots of action. Both sides gave their best to create a good game of football. We knew that we are going to face a good opposition and we knew that they were going to test our abilities defending which happened a couple of times but we defended well,&rdquo; Stimac stated in the post-match press conference.
&ldquo;They stuck to the plan and created enough chances to win the game, more than enough. I&rsquo;m sorry for them because they didn&rsquo;t score with very clear opportunities. We had much better chances than Lebanon, that was clear. We deserved to win this game. It didn&rsquo;t happen, but we are going to make sure we win it in three days.&rdquo; India are yet to concede in the ongoing Intercontinental Cup edition.
