Highlights India vs Cambodia International friendly, football scores and updates: India beat Cambodia 3-2

India claim an away win in International friendlies after 12 years. Positive result heading into the Asian Cup qualifying campaign, but the performance was much to be desired of. India must thank Cambodia’s inefficiency at both ends of the pitch for claiming the victory as the home side dominated large parts of the game. Constantine’ men put up a much better show in the second half and just about deserved the win. But tougher tests await the Blue Tigers

Congratulations to @IndianFootball Team for defeating Cambodia 3-2 in international friendly! 🎉🎉#CAMvIND #BackTheBlue https://t.co/3KGUH6kzrb

Good to get an away win but on the evidence of that performance we will need a much improved display to get any result in Myanmar #CAMvIND

FT Cambodia 2-3 India

India hold on to claim the victory. It was not easy by any means, but Stephan Cosntantine will be happy with the result

Five minutes of stoppage time! India leading 3-2 and have been a lot less threatened in the last few minutes. COnstantine will be pleased with the way his side have controlled the game since conceding the second goal

India change: Rowlin Borges OFF Milan Singh ON

Meanwhile, India miss an opportunity to kill the game off as Chhetri and Jeje overplay a bit inside the box.

85’ Cambodia 2-3 India

India have slowed the game down a bit as the game enters the last five minutes.

80’ Cambodia 2-3 India 

The pace of the game has dipped it a bit and India won’t mind that as they look to close down the game. Cambodia have shown flashes of brilliance, but have lacked a finishing touch all evening long. Interesting change from Constantine to take off robin who was doing a decent job holding the ball. Probably the pace of Udanta would be handy on the counter

India change: Robin Singh OFF Udanta Singh ON. India lead 3-2 after 75 minutes

70’ Cambodia 2-3 India

The game is stretched, both teams threatening. More goals on the cards

63' Sandesh makes an inch perfect tackle to crush down a dangerous attack from the left flank. #BackTheBlue #AsianDream #IndianFootball

65’ Cambodia 2-3 India

Cambodia have wrestled the momentum away from India with that goal and the crowd is now cheering them on to get one more. India though look threatening whenever they attack. Sandesh Jhingan made a crucial tackle to deny a Cambodian forward going through on goal. India need to be careful here

GOAL! Cambodia 2-3 India 

Brilliant response from Cambodia after going two goals down, They stepped it right up and put India under pressure who cracked and its game on now!

Starts don't come any better than this! Two goals in under eight minutes. SUBLIME! #BackTheBlue #AsianDream #IndianFootball

55’ Cambodia 1-3 India

What first ten minutes of the second half these have been for India, who have looked like a team on the mission. The visitors have turned this game on it’s head after a ten-minute blitz. Constantine’s changes have worked, but certainly his words at half time have fired up this Indian team who are looking more like what they have been in recent games. Cambodia have been punished for their errors at both ends of the pitch

GOAL! Cambodia 1-3 India, Sandesh Jhingan

India have doubled their lead. Sandesh Jhingan heads home from close range after Cambodia make a mess of an Indian corner. Both half-time substitutes have scored now. Stephan Constantine must be a happy man right now

GOAL! Cambodia 1-2 India, Jeje scores

Brilliant start from India to the second half who have been on the front foot since the whistle. Sunil Chhetri made a darting run at the heart of the Cambodian defense and slipped a pass through to Jeje who made no mistake. Inspired substitution from Constantine

Second half begins and India have made two changes to their side. Arnab Mondal and Daniel Lalhlimpuis have gone off and are replaced by Sandesh Jhingan and Jeje Lalpekhlua

Players are out on the field for the second half. Can India improve on their first half display?

India’s goal scored by Sunil Chhetri!

Meanwhile, @Minerva_AFC U16 are leading 1-0 against India U17. What a day for our national teama. #indianfootball #CAMvIND #BackTheBlue

HT: CAM 1-1 IND

We've been pathetic so far. Lucky to have scored that goal. #Indianfootball #CAMvIND

HT Cambodia 1-1 India

The home side will be kicking themselves at half time for going into the break on level terms. They have completely dominated proceedings and have had number of chances. India have struggled to live with Cambodia’s intensity and must thank their defenders for putting up an inspired show. Stephan Constantine’s men had their luck with the goal when the opposition goalkeeper let the ball slip from his grasp, but let the advantage slip before they could get going. However on the balance of the overall play, they will be pleased to go in at the break level. Constantine has some thinking to do at the the break and it will be interesting to see if he changes anything for the second half. Cambodia on the other hand will be hoping for better quality in the box in the second period

CHANCE AFTER CHANCE! India under real pressure at the moment. Cambodia have been very wasteful in front of goal at times, while the Indian defenders have been alert to clear their lines at times. Overall, Cambodia have been the dominant force in this game, but the score reads 1-1 which will suit visitors

40’ Cambodia 1-1 India  

Cambodia are back on the front foot and the game has a similar flow to it before the minor period of madness. India are on the back foot as the home side is peppering the Indian box with crosses. The visitors are living dangerously

38’ Cambodia 1-1 India 

GOAL! AND ANOTHER ONE! It all happened there. India went ahead through Sunil Chhetri after Cambodian goalkeeper missed a corner allowing Chhetri a tap in. The Indians though switched off and Cambodia equalised after a good move. Breathtaking!

Gupreet Singh Sandhu is alert as he comes out of his box to make a timely clearance. Still 0-0!

30’ Cambodia 0-0 India

Cambodia on top in this game. India have been forced deep in this game with their midfield struggling to break the hosts’ play. Cambodia though have lacked quality in the final third resulting in a goalless game so far

25’ Cambodia 0-0 India

India’s problems in central midfield don’t seem to ease as Lyngdoh and Rowlin Borges are struggling to exert control on the game. Chhetri is trying to help out his team-mates, but India is giving away too many fouls out of the box. Cambodia almost punish India with one as the attacker fires wide

LAST DITCH! Pritam Kotal prevents India from falling behind as he lunges to tackle the Cambodian striker through on goal. The hosts fail to make the most of the resulting corner as India threaten at the other end. At the end of 20 minutes, score remains Cambodia 0-0 India

15’ Cambodia 0-0 India

India have settled down in the game and it is now a very even game. Cardozo’s cross in the 13th minute gave the Cambodian defence a problem, but they dealt with it eventually

10’ Cambodia 0-0 India

India starting to see a bit more of the ball, but the home side are looking sharper of the two teams. Lyngdoh fouls in the middle of the park to give Cambodia a free kick in a dangerous area but, it is fired well over.

CHANCE! Cambodia surprise India by thumping a free kick away from the center of the box. India fail to deal with the cross but the Camdodian attacker blazes over from eight yards. Huge let off for the Indian who are looking a bit rusty

5’ Cambodia 0-0 India

Home side have seen more of the ball in the opening exchanges who are looking to use the flanks and stretch the Indian defence. However, no real danger for India so far. Good crowd in who is making a lot of noise whenever Cambodia enter the Indian half

KICK OFF! The game is underway in Cambodia, India re playing in their changed white strip and playing in front of a big crowd that’s already making a lot of noise

Big crowd for the game in India. Has all the makings to be a cracker!
