Andy Sophie's ferocious shot from the right punched away by Kiran for a corner. The corner is then easily caught by Kiran without any harm.
Anjan Bista dribbles past a defender to get inside the box. His cutback was then easily cleared by Mauritius. Two players outside the box stood still and made no runs. I mean, why didn't they?
Manish Dangi misses from close range. He was unmarked inside the six yard box but he couldn't hit in on goal. He was offside anyway.

A mis-pass from Mauritian defender falls for Tej Tamang. The goalkeeper was not on the post and he shoots it from around 35 yards out but wide. The keeper looked to have covered the goal anyway.

A long shot from Fernando Jackson from outside the box that goes outside the near post.
Mauritius on the attack, even more so after the penalty miss. Nepal coping with it so far.
Another save for Kiran. A header off a Mauritius corner was gathered by Nepal no. 1. He is being tested but he's dealing with everything pretty well.
Kiran Chemjong saves the penalty. Andy Sophie's penalty, guessed right by Kiran and he put his right hand to it and saved it.
Penalty to Mauritius. A foul on Mauritius forward Andy Sophie. A brilliant chance to level the match straight away.
GOOOOOAL! Sujal Shrestha scores for Nepal. The corner was cleared by the Mauritian defense which fell for Aashish Lama outside the box. His shot then fell at Sujal's feet inside the six-yard box and he tapped it in.
1-0 to Nepal.
