Macau, Sept 5 (IBNS): On a day when Indian National Team accomplished their Mission Macau with a 2-0 victory over the hosts, coach Stephen Constantine was satisfied and happy with the win.

"Congratulations on the victory. It was very difficult to break down their defence. It is a very valuable win for us. And we stay on top of Group A with 9 points,'' he said.

“It was very hard to break them down as they were defending with 8 or 9 men. So we are happy with the 2-0 victory.'' Constantine mentioned.



Constantine's boys have now remained unbeaten in eleven games on the trot since the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers Playoff Round 1 match against Laos on June 2, 2016.

Stephen was also happy with Balwant’s effectiveness after he came on as a substitute to score the winning goals.

“Balwant scored two goals tonight. He did what he was asked to do. He could have scored four but I will take two,” stated Constantine.

India are scheduled to face the same opponents on October 10 in the return fixture in India.
