Colombo: India got stuck in the muck and was held to a goalless draw by a lowly Afghanistan in the South Asian Games football opener at the Sugathadasa Stadium here on Monday. India will play Nepal in its next Pool `B' match on Wednesday. Sparse crowd, intermittent drizzle and a muddy ground resulted in a pathetic display and maintaining balance seemed the most daunting task. While the dirt all over the players' jerseys told the entire story, altogether five attempts were made on target by both the teams without any success. India had a slight edge in the first half, but its moves died premature death in the midfield muddle. In the 37th minute, skipper Zadinmawia Hmar's ambitious right-footer crashed into the Afghan side net and that was the only highlight. — UNI
