A last-gasp goal by Mukhtar Nasser helped Maldives shock defending champions India to lift their maiden South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) Cup title at the packed Sugathadassa Stadium here on Saturday.
Four-time champion India paid heavily for the numerous chances they missed throughout the 90 minutes. And when the game looked like going into extra-time, the stunner came with a long ranger from Nasser in the 87th minute.
rain rain go away
Up above from the skies
u come,
As drops of joy
As drops of sorrow
As a shower of blessing from the heavens.
Rain Rain Rain, Pitter patter pitter patter
on the window panes, thunder and lightning fill up the skies
creating an orchestral symphony.
