Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
Minutes before the break, India had the chance to make it three when they were awarded a free-kick from a lethal position. Stepping up for the free-kick, Chhetri, however, sent the ball over the crossbar.
The second-half started off with Gurpreet Singh Sandhu showcasing his skills as he pulled off a stunning save in the 48th minute.
Kenya’s Ovella Ochieng released a shot from inside the box which saw Sandhu diving to his right to deny Kenya a way back into the tie.
Gurpreet stole much of the limelight of the latter half with his saves which kept India’s lead intact. At the final whistle, the Blue Tigers got the better of Harambee Stars to clinch the championship.
