India's bid to reach the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers' third round was foiled by a disputed decision in their 2-1 loss to Qatar. Lallianzuala Chhangte's 37th-minute goal put India ahead, but a controversial equalizer by Yousef Aymen was allowed to stand despite the ball appearing out of play. Qatar capitalized on India's disrupted rhythm, scoring a late winner. Despite the loss, India's performance exceeded expectations, with Chhangte's goal a highlight. The defeat, combined with Kuwait's win over Afghanistan, eliminates India from the competition.
