Veteran striker scores hat-trick to help team overpower Pakistan

Chhetri treble, India revel

WHEN it was first announced that Pakistan would travel to India for the SAFF Championships, there was talk of the rivalry between the countries bringing some much-needed spotlight to Indian football. One All India Football Federation official, however, expressed his doubts. “It’s not a rivalry. The two teams are not on the same level,” he had said then.

On Wednesday, in their SAFF Championship opener at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium, the gulf between the two teams was laid bare. India won 4-0 with a hat-trick from Sunil Chhetri and a late goal from substitute Udanta Singh. That it wasn’t even a particularly impressive performance reflects how far apart these teams are. They did not have to try particularly hard. The Indians hogged 70 per cent of the ball and strung together twice as many passes as their opponents.
