A win means the last two games will be inconsequential. "We have three more games, but the most important game is one against Macau on October 11. This will be one of the most significant in our history. If we manage to win, we qualify for the Asian Cup, which would be a tremendous achievement for Indian football," Constantine said. The coach said that the players know the importance of the tie. "The boys know the importance of the game, they know what this could mean for them, Indian football and everybody connected with Indian football.
