India vs Uruguay LIVE: The bold goalkeeper gamble

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu is undoubtedly a modern-day great of Indian football, but he made two high-profile errors in the previous match against Brazil, leading to their first two goals.

Going forward, India will rely on Ryan Williams to provide the necessary firepower. He scored a brilliant goal against Panama, and then came close against Brazil too, seeing an shot being cleared off the line.
