India vs Singapore Live Score: IND take on SGP in Goa. India (IND) vs Singapore (SGP) Football Live Score Updates, Asian Cup Qualifier Today Match Updates: India’s chances of progression to the next round of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers hangs by a thread when they take on Singapore in Goa on Tuesday. The Blue Tigers kept their faint chances alive last week in the away leg vs Singapore when Rahim Ali equalized in the dying embers of the match to end the game at 1-1.
India currently have 2 points from three matches and even if they win their remaining encounters, they will finish with a maximum of 11 points. In order to have a chance to upstage leaders Hong Kong, India not only have to win all their remaining matches but also hope that Hong Kong drops points in at least two of their remaining three games. In case the two teams are level on points India need to defeat Hong Kong 2-0 in March in order to get by through head to head encounters.

But first, India have to go past Singapore with head coach Khalid Jamil advocating for an attacking mindset in the Blue Tigers’ home match. After his appointment, India finished 3rd in the recent CAFA Nations Cup, even defeating Oman on penalties. But in last week’s match against Singapore, India reverted to type when they played defensively from the off.

India vs Singapore, AFC Asian Cup Qualifier: With hopes on a knife’s edge, coach Khalid Jamil needs early goal and defenders to keep it tight
“Start with an attacking mood.” Khalid Jamil repeated this a few times in his typically staccato answers during the pre-match press conference before India’s 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifier against Singapore in Margao, which is also his first home game as the national team’s head coach. “It is our home ground, we have to think positive. We have to be in an attacking mood from the start,” Jamil told reporters. If India indeed come out with that attitude, those who have followed Jamil’s teams might see something familiar, something that had gone missing in India’s 1-1 draw in Singapore last week.
