Hong Kong had taken the lead in the 70th minute which was cut down by Indian skipper Bhaichung Bhutia ten minutes later. An injury time winner by Wai Chiu left the Indians dumbfounded.

Speaking to Goal.com, the AFC Challenge Cup hero said, “In the end, we lost and it was really very sad. We conceded the goal in the 94th minute and that says it all.”

Contrary to most reports in India which stated that Bob Houghton’s men had the upper hand for most parts of the game, Sunil gave his take on the same.

“I wouldn’t say the game was 50:50, rather it was 60:40 in favour of Hong Kong.”

Sunil returned to Kolkata last evening and if East Bengal coach Subhash Bhowmick’s pre-match words are to be believed then, the national team players would be rested when his side take on Bayern Munich’s U-23 side.
