“Adhavan Rajamohan converts a penalty right on the stroke of half-time to give Sri Lanka a 1-0 lead against the run of play.”
Pivotal
Seychelles
Sri Lanka
Seychelles dominated the territorial battle with 55% possession, 15 shots and 65 dangerous attacks compared to Sri Lanka's 48, but had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. Instead, Sri Lanka were ruthlessly efficient, converting a 45th-minute penalty and a quick second-half strike from Adhavan Rajamohan within eight minutes of the restart to effectively settle the contest. Dillon De Silva added a third in the 77th minute to complete a comfortable win built on clinical finishing rather than control of the game. For Seychelles, this will sting as a lesson in profligacy despite seven corners and seven shots on target, while Sri Lanka's efficient counter-punching approach will offer encouragement heading into future fixtures.
