India suffered 1-2 defeat to tiny Western Pacific Island nation Guam, ranked 33 places below them in the FIFA rankings, in their 2018 football World Cup qualifying group match in the capital city Hagatna. Sunil Chhetri managed a consolation goal in the last minute of the game through a header after Brandon McDonald put the hosts ahead in the 38th minute and Travis Nicklaw doubled the advantage in the 62nd minute. The 174 ranked country now tops the table in Group 'D' with two wins from two games. India have lost both their matches. The latest reverse puts India's chances of a third-placed finish in the 2018 World Cup qualifying in jeopardy, which in turn could affect the country's prospect of earning a direct entry into the 2019 Asian Cup.
