NEW DELHI: Indian football team head coach Igor Stimac has said that he is happy with the players' attitude and "their willingness to go and win the game" after his side defeated hosts Nepal 2-1 in the second 'friendly' at the Dashrath Stadium in Kathmandu on Sunday evening.

"I think it was a good game of football that all the fans could enjoy. This second game was much better than the previous one. We need to congratulate the players on their attitude and their willingness to go and win the game. I especially need to appreciate my players because they were much more patient, waiting for the first goal, to open up the Nepali defence, and as you know, when that happens, everything is much easier," said Stimac.

Stimac added that India had emerged the better of the two sides over the course of the two international friendlies. IANS
