In that instance, Rauf, while fielding near the boundary, signaled \u20186-0\u2019 with his fingers and mimicked a plane crashing, evoking the deadly conflict between the two nations in May.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Social media users quickly condemned both gestures as insensitive and inflammatory.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>India Triumphs On The Field<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">On the pitch, the game itself was a tense, end-to-end affair. India took the lead in the 31st minute through Dallalmuon Gangte, who calmly slotted the ball home.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Pakistan responded before halftime with a penalty converted by Abdullah to level the scores at 1-1. The second half continued in high tempo, with Gunleiba Wangkeirakpam restoring India\u2019s lead in the 63rd minute, only for Hamza Yasir to equalize for Pakistan seven minutes later. The match-winning goal came from Rahan Ahmed in the 73rd minute, giving India a hard-fought 3-2 victory.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">The win kept India\u2019s perfect record intact, moving them to the top of Group B with three consecutive wins, while both teams had already secured semifinal spots.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">India will now face Bangladesh in the semifinals on September 25.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Siddarth Sriram\" title=\"Siddarth Sriram\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/whatsapp-image-2023-11-21-at-13.08.50-2023-11-80cfbdc2ae2c38a1b4cbe06c6d393b21.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/siddarth-sriram-27127.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Siddarth Sriram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After training in the field of broadcast media, Siddarth, as a sub-editor for News18 Sports, currently dabbles in putting together stories, from across a plethora of sports, onto a digital canvas.
