India Hold Panama 1-1 in Friendly; Brazil and Uruguay Next

India held FIFA World Cup side Panama to a 1-1 draw in a friendly match in Bengaluru. Ryan Williams gave the Blue Tigers a first-half lead, but Omar Valencia equalised after the break. Despite creating chances to win, India withstood late pressure from Panama.

The result provides encouragement for Khalid Jamil's squad ahead of more challenging fixtures. India will face Brazil and Uruguay in upcoming friendlies scheduled for October.
