Syria defeated Lebanon in their third match of the Nehru Cup to ensure their position in the final of the ONGC Nehru Cup in New Delhi. Lebanon, who needed a win from this match to have a chance for the final spot, tried hard but could not resist the Syrian from keeping their all win record in the tournament so far. The runners up of the previous edition of the tournament, won the match by the only goal of Mohammad Al Zeno at the 23rd minute of the match. The result of the match almost ensured a rematch of the last edition's final this time too as India too will qualify unless they lose to Syria by a huge margin and Sri Lanka defeats Kyrgyzstan by a similarly huge margin. The goal difference of the Sri Lankan team must improve by 7 with respect to the hosts India. Sri Lanka play their match tomorrow while the last league match between last time's finalists will be held on the next day.
The live streaming of the match can be seen here at the time of the match (1830 hrs IST).
