India and Nepal will face off in the final of the 13th South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) Championship today after almost two weeks of intense competition.
The Indians who are tipped to be the favourites to regain the title strived hard to reach the finals winning two while drawing the same number of matches. They were the only undefeated team in the competition.
Their striker, Sunil Shetty, established a new record by scoring the highest number of goals by an individual for his country which was earlier established by Brazilian football legend Pelé.
The Lankan dribblers had a commendable performance by holding the South East giants India to 1-all draw while losing the remaining three matches to Bangladesh (1-0), Nepal (3-2), and Maldives (1-0).
