Chhetri's 94th international goal came at a critical moment. After missing several early chances, India needed a spark. The penalty was awarded after Afghanistan's Haroon Amiri handled the ball in the box. Chhetri stepped up calmly, sending the ball past the diving Azizi and into the net, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
