India vs Kuwait Final Live Streaming, SAFF Championship 2023: India and Kuwait will face off in the all-important final of the SAFF Bangabandhu Championship 2023 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Tuesday (July 2).

India played out a gruelling semifinal against Lebanon at the same venue on Saturday and emerged victorious in the penalty shootout after no goals were scored following 120 minutes of football. Goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu emerged as the star, saving two penalties while his teammates converted all four of their strikes.

Kuwait too had to work hard for a win over a stubborn Bangladesh side, whose goalkeeper Anisur Rahman Zico made several saves to force the game into extra time. A goal in the 115th minute by right-back Abdullah Al-Bloushi decided the tie for Kuwait as Bangladesh's dream run at the tournament ended in heartbreak.

Speaking of the final, Kuwait and India are familiar opponents now as they already played an ill-tempered group match that saw the Middle-East side steal a last-minute draw to seal their top in the group as Indian defender Anwar Ali conceded an own goal in the 92nd minute.

It's a tie much-awaited for the Indian fans and players as the game also saw a red card for their coach Igor Stimac following an argument with the assistant referee while forward Rahim Ali was also given a marching order for a fight with his rival.

Kuwait's physical approach and cynical fouls in the dying moment of the game flared the temper of the match as until Stimac's red card India looked like the side dominating the game in all quarters. While Kuwait coach Rui Bento admitted his players let their emotions get the better of them, Indian assistant coach Mahesh Gawli, who will also be in charge of affairs in the final, panned the Kuwaitis for unsportsmanlike display.
