Going into the 18th Asian Games in Indonesia, India had never lost a single men’s kabaddi match at the Games.

Earlier this week, that record was broken when they lost a group stage match 23-24 to South Korea. The only saving grace was that the team had done enough to reach the quarters. However, that loss proved to not be an aberration all fans had hoped for, as Iran pulled off a massive upset, beating the seven-time defending champions 18-27 in the semi-final.

India will now have to settle for broze alongside Pakistan who lost to South Korea in the other semifinal.

Twitter, on cue, was disappointed.
