KATHMANDU: Nepal repeated history to win the gold medal in the South Asian Games men’s football defeating India after 23 years.Attacking midfielder Prakash Budhathoki, lethal striker Nawayug Shrestha and brilliant custodian Bikesh Kuthu led Nepal to propel to the triumph over the hosts India in their own backyard.Nepal’s head coach Raju Kaji Shakya was the captain when the Nepali team won the gold medal in the men’s football in the regional sports gala in Dhaka in 1993.It is third gold medal for Nepal in the 12th edition of SAG. Earlier, Nepal had won one gold medal each in Wushu and Judo.Nepal were 0-1 down after India’s Halicharan Narzary scored from the penalty spot in the 31st minute. Nepal were penalised after Aditya Chaudhary brought down Indian midfielder Kumam Udanta Singh. Goalkeeper Kuthu had guessed the right spot, but failed to prevent the ball from going into the net.Nepali players apparently gave too much respect to their opponents and were put under pressure in the first half. The domestic crowd cheered acted as the 12th man for India. Nepali players seemed to be more nervous and disorganised while barricading the attacking moves from Indian side after conceding the goal.But they succeeded in coming back to the game with Prakash Budhathoki’s goal off a stunning free-kick in the 66th minute. Budhathoki, who substituted Man Bahadur Tamang in the 41st minute, added Nepal’s attacking flair in the second half. Kuthu also made some brilliant reflex saves, keeping Nepal’s hope to make a comeback in the game.
