Asian Cup Qualifiers: Ryan Williams Makes History as India End with Win

  • On Tuesday, India defeated Hong Kong, China, 2-1 in their final AFC Asian Cup qualifier at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi.
  • The Blue Tigers entered the match with nothing at stake, having missed the opportunity to qualify for three successive Asian Cups.
  • Debutant Ryan Williams scored inside four minutes, registering the quickest goal ever by an Indian in men's football, after being set up by Manvir Singh.
  • Following a long throw from Rahul Bheke, Akash Mishra doubled the lead early in the second half before Everton Camargo reduced the deficit to 2-1.
  • The victory settled scores for the Blue Tigers, who lost the return fixture at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong last year, marking coach Jamil's first win on home soil.
