HYDERABAD: Syria, the highest ranked team in the tournament at No. 93, justified their billing as they routed defending champions India 3-0 to lift the Intercontinental Cup at the GMC Balayogi stadium on Monday.
While goals from Mohmoud Al Aswad (7th) and Daleho Mohsen Irandust (77th minutes) sealed India's fate, Pablo David Sabbag Daccarett (90+6) summed up the hosts' struggle against a much superior side.
