Nuruddin gave India the lead ten minutes into the Group A fixture at the Ali Sabah Al Salem Stadium before fellow defender Jayanda Moirangthem extended the South Asians’ advantage on the stroke of half-time. Anirudh Thapa made it 3-0 in the 62nd minute before skipper Bedashwor Laishram added the fourth four minutes later and while Ali Kharoubi reduced the deficit shortly before the hour mark there was to be no way back for Lebanon.
