"We lacked football intelligence in key moments of the game and that cost us," Constantine said after the match. India came into the game on a the back of a similar result last week against Oman, who though faced stiff competition form the South Asian nation. Sunil Chhetri managed a consolation goal in the last minute of the game after Brandon McDonald put the hosts ahead in the 38th minute and Travis Nicklaw doubled the advantage in the 62nd minute at the GFA National Training Center.
