After succumbing to two consecutive defeats in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, India are out of contention to make it through to the knockout stages of the tournament. The Young Tigresses will next face the mighty Brazilians in their final Group A match at the Kalinga Stadium on Monday, October 17.
Thomas Dennerby's girls had a shambolic start to the tournament, being humbled 0-8 by the United States.
The hosts looked out of depth throughout the clash. Although the girls retaliated with an improved performance against Morocco, it wasn't enough to avoid a 0-3 drubbing.

Brazil, meanwhile, are placed second in the group with four points. Although they're tied on points with the USA, Brazil are down a place owing to having an inferior goal difference.
Despite coming into the encounter as the clear favorites, the CONMEBOL side will have to be wary of the Blue Tigresses, given they will play freely with nothing left to lose.
Ahead of the game, head coach Dennerby stated:
"When we have the ball, we need to feel relaxed and start playing. We need to be confident and play a little bit more. Now, we have nothing to lose. I hope the girls start playing freely.”
