India was Guyana’s first Asian opponent

FLASHBACK! Guyana’s Julien Moe and India’s Samir Chowdhary fight for possession of the ball in the match which was won by Guyana 3-0.

When the Golden Jaguars clash with Indonesia in Jakarta on Saturday, it will be the third time the Land of Many Waters will engage a country from the continent of Asia.

Guyana’s first Asian foe was India, the year was 1984, the month was June and the venue was the world-famous Georgetown Cricket Club ground at Bourda.

The Indian National Football Team deplaned at Timehri International Airport buoyed by a two goals to one victory over Caribbean powerhouse Trinidad and Tobago but they had no answer for the debutant Western Tigers midfielder, the late Julian Edward Moe.
