Siliguri: Skipper Sunil Chhetri went level with Baichung Bhutia as India’s leading international scorer after netting his 42nd goal in Friday’s 1-1 draw with AFC Challenge Cup 2014-bound Philippines.
Chhetri (pictured) put India ahead in the 43rd minute with a header from a corner, but James Younghusband cancelled out the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup MVP’s opener a minute later with a powerful kick from outside the box.
Some 15,000 fans watched an engrossing battle in the second-half, but neither side was able to score the winner in the international friendly.
