Afghanistan wins SAFF title, spoils India's hat-trick hopes

Afghanistan won their maiden-SAFF Football Championship after defeating India 2-0 in the finals at Kathmandu and spoilt India's bid to win a hat-trick of SAFF-trophies. Mustafa Azadzoy(8th-minute) and Sanjar Ahmadi(63rd-minute) scored goals for Afghans, who lost championship to India 0-4 in New Delhi two-years back. From Indian-side, Robin Singh and Jeje Lalpeklhua were praiseworthy but couldn't save India from defeat.
