Sunil Chhetri marked his international comeback with a goal as India defeated the Maldives 3-0 in Shillong. Rahul Bheke opened the scoring with a header in the 35th minute, followed by Liston Colaco’s strike in the 66th. Chhetri sealed the victory with a classic header in the 76th minute, netting his 95th international goal.
