India hold UAE to draw

Romeo Fernandes’ 88th-minute strike helped India recover from an early jolt as the team rallied to hold United Arab Emirates to a 1-1 draw in an Under-22 AFC Championship match here.

Down by a Jamal Ibrahim goal, as early as in the ninth minute, India came back strongly to share the points. After a barrage of attacks on the rival citadel, Romeo restored parity in the 88th minute.PTI
