Chhetri scored on the 76th minute when Mahesh played a low cross into the middle that the forward Farukh missed but it came recycling back to Liston who crossed it back in the six-yard area.
The veteran forward met the cross and flicked it past the Maldives goalie to score his 95th international goal.
Chhetri, 40, is fourth on the all-time top international goal-scorers in men's football with only Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) leading the way with 135.
