By Indian captain Sunil Chhetri became the joint-fourth- highest goal scorer in the history of men’s football when he scored twice against Pakistan in their SAFF Championship opener at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
Chhetri’s goal tally reached 89 in 138 matches after the brace, getting him level with Mokhtar Dahari of Malaysia, who reached the feat in four more games.
It took just over 10 minutes for India to get the scoreboard ticking when the Indian captain scored after an major error by the Pakistan goalkeeper Saqib Hanif and soon doubled the lead after the visitor conceded a penalty, six minutes later.
