Sharjah, January 14: India crashed out of the AFC Asian Cup 2019 after a cruel 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bahrain on Monday at the Al Sharjah stadium in Sharjah.

The Blue Tigers delivered a resilient display to keep the match goalless for most of the game and looked to have done enough to secure progression.

But a penalty from Jamal Rashed in the 90th minute ended India's hopes of reaching the knockout stages for the very first time in history.

India were dealt a shock in the 90th minute when Pronay Halder brought down Hamed Alshamsan. Rashed stepped and coolly converted to break the Indian hearts.

India suffered an early setback when Anas Edathodika had to be substituted in the fourth minute due to an injury. Despite the change, India stood firm at the back and denied their opponents space and time on the ball.

As it happened:
