India crashed out of the AFC Asian Cup with a heartbreaking 0-1 defeat at the hands of Bahrain, who scored in the stoppage time, in their final Group A match at Sharjah today.  Bahrain converted a penalty in the 91st minute through Jamal Rashed, who made no mistake after India captain Pronay Halder committed a careless tackle inside the box.

India finished outside the top two after the the group's other game between UAE and Thailand ended in a 1-1 draw.
 
Entering their final group game following a 4-1 win over Thailand and a 0-2 loss to hosts United Arab Emirates, a determined India held on for 90 minutes before conceding.
 
This was India's fourth appearance in the continental showpiece, beginning with the 1964 edition, in which only four teams participated.
