Mahindra United loses

Margao: Mahindra United went down fighting 1-0 to Bahrain league champion Al Muharraq in the crucial AFC Cup football match at the Nehru Stadium Fatorda here on Tuesday. Al Dakeel scored the all-imporant goal for Al Muharraq in the ninth minute of the first half.

The Mumbai team could have won outright had it converted the chances it got, especially in the second half. With this win, Al Muharraq qualified for the quarterfinals from Group A maintaining its position at the top of the table with 10 points from three wins and a draw. — UNI
