Captain Macdonnish Ngairangbam and R Lalremruatfela gave India a 2-0 lead inside 11 minutes.

Yespunjab.com and nationalheraldindia.com lead with the scoreline and goal sequence, while khelnow.com pivots to a preview of the Cameroon match, noting Cameroon beat Senegal 3-0. The only factual difference is the date of the Bahrain and Senegal matches: yespunjab.com says 26 October, nationalheraldindia.com says 26 October, and khelnow.com does not name the date. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. India's next test is against Cameroon on 25 October.
