India vs Oman Football Today Match Live Score Updates, CAFA Nations Cup 2025: Udanta Singh scored the equaliser for India almost immediately after being substituted in, with the goal coming in the 81st minute. That helped India force the match into extra time. Oman got a red card in the first half of the period and this resulted in India suddenly hogging possession and looking to score. Oman held on though and were much more attacking in the second half. Finally, it ended in a stalemate and incredibly, India were the ones who kept their calm in the penalty shootout and took it 3-2.

India went into half-time leading 1-0 had Irfan Yadwad not made a blooper of a miss in its dying minutes. There was no pressure from any of the Omani defenders on him and the ball had come kindly to his feet but Yadwad ended up fluffing his tap-in. That miss turned out to be even more expensive as Oman came out all guns blazing in the early minutes of the second half and took the lead.
India have had a couple of good chances in the first half of their CAFA Nations Cup third place playoff against Oman despite the latter hogging possession. Earlier, India were impressive in their first two matches before their woeful inability to find goals denied them a victory in their last match of the tournament against the lower-ranked Afghanistan. All of this meant that while they didn’t qualify for the final, India managed to make it to the third-place playoff, in which they faced Oman.
