Tonight, a certain 19-year old ran riot on the right wing, causing numerous problems for India from the get-go. Sarpreet Singh was as lively as he could be. Unlike today's modern-day wingers who have the pace and trickery to get past their markers, Sarpreet displayed none of those attributes.

What he does possess is immaculate crossing abilities which he put to splendid use against India. Every time he received the ball, the attacking midfielder took no more than two touches before whipping in a cross.

He continued to test India's diminutive back-line and found a lot of success when doing so. Having recently represented New Zealand at the U-20 World Cup last year, it's safe to say the Kiwis have at their disposal, a calm and calculated player capable of turning the tide with a single pass.
