The Indian football team yesterday broke an 11-year-old jinx of not winning a match away from home as they beat lower ranked Cambodia 3-2 in an international friendly. India, currently ranked 132 in the world, were given a tough fight by the Cambodians, who are 41 places below them. The last time India emerged victorious in an away international friendly was way back in 2006, when the team captained by Shanmugam Venkatesh scored a solitary goal win over Pakistan. The win will boost the Indian side ahead of their AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers first leg match against Myanmar on Mar. 28 in Yangon. Sunil Chhetri (35th min), Jeje Lalpekhlua (49th) and Sandesh Jhingan (52nd) found the target for India while Cambodia scored through Khoun Laboravy (36th) and Chan Vathanaka (62nd).
