Nepal Prepare tough job against India in world cup qualifiers second leg

Nepal National Football team prepare for a tough job as they look to overturn first leg result against India.

Although the team will get a lot of support and cheer from its home fans, the task will be difficult one for Nepal as they face confident Indian team that has two goals lead.

India scored twice, thanks for the two goals from Sunil Chhetri as Kiran Chemjong saved a penalty to deny Chhetri's hat trick and kept Nepal in the competition.

The task will be difficult one  for determined Nepal as they face ISL experienced Indian side.

The match will be live at Kantipur Television and newly formed sports and entertainment channel Kantipur Gold and the live updates of the match will be available in the Football today website.

Exact number of goals Nepal needs to qualify to the next round, considering they do not concede any.


Although Nepal has a poor record of results in the recent international matches, Nepal will be looking to return their confidence and team spirit they had back in home during SAFF Championship 2013. The team reached to the semifinals dominating top sides including a victory against finalist India.

The match will see tests for youngsters like Bimal Gharti Magar who has failed to score for the nation after his first and only official goal which came against Pakistan in the SAFF championship back in home.

The problem could be Nepal's training session in artificial turn where the field  outfield remains quicker and different than in natural grass. Nepal has therefore conducted their training in natural grasses to get them self established for the final test which will be conducted on March 17.

The ticket price has been allocated $7 for normal and $15 for the VIP stands. Although the fans are unhappy, the hike in ticket price has come after shrink in capacity of the stadium due to ongoing renovation process.
