India down 1-0 in soccer opener
Ali Al Saad struck early to hand Lebanon a 10 win over holders India in the opening game of the five-nation Nehru Cup soccer tournament on Aug. 19.
Al Saad fired in a low, curling free kick from 22 yards following a foul by N.P Pradeep in the fourth minute as Lebanon started at a furious pace to rattle the hosts.
India went close a few times on either half but Lebanon, clearly the better side, tightened their defense and used quick counter attacks to keep the hosts from mounting sustained pressure.
