Chhetri scores brace as India beats Cambodia in AFC Asian Cup qualifier

Playing his 127th match for the country, Chhetri netted his 81st goal by scoring from the spot in the 14th minute. He could have made it 2-0 by the half-hour mark but failed in the final third despite getting accurate crosses right-back Roshan Singh in the 22nd minute and left-back Akash Mishra 10 minutes later.
