AFC Challenge Cup 2012: Maldives Coach Says They Can Win The AFC Challenge Cup


Maldives National Football team coach, Istavan Urbanyi said that Maldives could win the AFC Challenge Cup if they could play the same what they performed against India in the semifinal match of SAFF Championship football tournament held in New Delhi last year. Urbanyi said, "We can win the Championship if we performed the same game", Urbanyi said. 


Maldives had lost to India 3-1 in the 2011 edition of the SAFF Championship semi-final. India was leading 1-0 at half time before Shamweel Gasim's wonder goal equalised for Maldives in the second half. But India then took the lead with a penalty and then hit on the counter attack as they won 3-1.
