Chandigarh, October 24

India put up a brilliant display against Oman to bag three points from their opening game of the AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers in Fujairah, UAE, today. India beat Oman 2-1 after a great first half. While Oman did mount a late charge, India managed to hold them off.

Rahim Ali opened the scoring for India from the penalty spot in the seventh minute, while Vikram Partap Singh doubled the lead 31 minutes later. Waleed Salim Al Musalmi pulled one back in the 89th minute. Deepak Tangri was solid in defence. India will next take on hosts UAE on October 27. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
