The Sunil Chhetri-led India won the SAFF Championship with a 5-4 penalty shootout win against Kuwait at the Sree Kanteerava stadium in Bengaluru on Tuesday.
It was Gurpreet Singh Sandhu’s save in the sudden death that ultimately won the game for Igor Stimac’s side.
The Blue Tigers are nine-time SAFF Championship winners now.
“Thank you so much. This whole tournament has been really tough. We came back from a tournament in Odissa that was also very tough. Everybody chipped in. They are not an easy side to play agains. Two games in four days that has gone into extra time. I can’t express how happy I am,” said Chhetri.
