Sunil Chhetri worked his magic, but India had to split points with Kuwait after an acrimonious 1-1 draw in their last group match in the SAFF Championship here on Tuesday.

Chhetri had put India on the road to victory with an injury-time strike in the first half but an own goal by Anwar Ali in the added time of the second half spoiled the home side’s march. This was also the first goal India conceded in nine matches.
