JSW Bengaluru Debutant Gurpreet Singh hails importance of clean sheet

Bengaluru: JSW Bengaluru’s most recent signing, India goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh, was delighted with his clean sheet as the Indian side ran out 3-0 winners over DPR Korea’s 4.25 SC in the first leg of the AFC Cup Inter-Zone semi-final on Wednesday.

A downpour began shortly before kick-off at Sree Kanteerava Stadium and got gradually heavier as the match went on, making conditions extremely tough for the two teams, but it was Sunil Chhetri who opened the scoring from the spot with a ‘Panenka’ just after the half hour.

Udanta Singh and Lenny Rodrigues added a further two in the second half, and the commanding three-goal advantage the 2016 AFC Cup runners-up will take to Pyongyang in three weeks’ time was made all the more sweet by Singh’s debut shut-out.
