Lebanon thrashed India 4-1 in the first world cup qualifier in Beirut. Lebanon dominated the match while India did do well in patches. Interestingly, the first goal of the match was scored by India, courtesy Sunil Chhetri in the 30th minute. But there was nothing much to cheer for the Indian fans after that. Antar slammed one back for Lebanon in the 33rd minute. Ghaddhar scored twice for the hosts. This heavy defeat means India will have a tenacious task to accomplish in the home leg. The team had trained in Dubai before this match and no one had expected India to lose this way against a team which is ranked just one place above India.

Hard luck... it was always going to be difficult facing them away from home. Lets hope we can bounce back in the home fixture.
