Lowly India, ranked 147 in the world, pulled off a 2-1 victory over 2022 World Cup hosts Qatar in a friendly at the Al Sadd Stadium on Sunday.
Both teams were preparing for their World Cup Asian Zone qualifiers on July 23 when Qatar take on Vietnam in Doha and India travel to the United Arab Emirates.
India went ahead with a 16th-minute penalty from former Kansas City Wizards striker Sunil Chhetri.
Striker Sushil Kumar Singh made it 2-0 in the 72nd minute and it was only then that the Qataris showed some sense of urgency.
Though the home team hit back in the very next minute, it was too little too late.
