Jeje Lalpekhlua inspired the Indian football team to a 6-1 second leg victory against Laos and ensured progression to the 2019 Asian Cup’s third qualifying round with a 7-1 aggregate score. India, who won the first away leg game 1-0 thanks to a Jeje goal, saw their advantage evaporate as Laos took the lead at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium through Khonesavanh Sihavong. But India’s response was impressive and clinical, scoring through the in-form Jeje (43th, 74th minutes), youngster Sumit Passi (46th), Sandesh Jhingan (48th), Mohammed Rafique (83rd) and Fulganco Cardozo (87th).
