Rafi wins it for India
Indian National Football team registered their third successive friendly wins as Kerala’s Mohammed Rafi fired in the decisive goal in a narrow 1-0 win against Portuguese football club Atletico.
India drew first blood and took an early lead through in-form striker in the 6th minute. Abhishek Yadav provided the assist for Rafi, which was neatly converted by the Churchill Brothers’ striker. Atletico came out to try and draw level in the second half, but failed to produce the goal and thus allowing India to continue their winning strike at Portugal.
