FT: It was a lacklustre display from the Indian squad as they once again ended up on the losing side. The Blue colts showed great character despite conceding a goal in the first half. They came in strong in the second half to secure the equalizer. However, the Tigers failed to hold on to the momentum letting in two quick goals in the final minutes of the match.
They will need to work on the grey areas before taking the field for their next match against Korea.
90' Goooaal! Thailand with the final nail in the coffin as they find the back of the net yet again within stipulated time. They now enjoy a 2-goal cushion.
88' Gooooaaall! Despite a strong show, the Indian team suffers a setback as Thailand score in the dying minutes of the match. Score: Thailand 2-1 India
48' Gooooaaall!! It's even stevens as Vikram Partap Singh puts in a clinical finish and scores for India to put the scores on level pegging. Scoreline 1-1.
HT: India has looked positive and created sporadic opportunities. The Blue colts will need to be more clinical in the next half if they fancy a comeback into the game. As things stand now, Thailand lead by a solitary goal to nil against India.
The Blue colts will be clashing with the U16 team from Thailand in the upcoming encounter.
After a setback against the hosts in the first game, Bibiano Fernandes' boys will be looking to bounce back strongly in the contest.
Despite creating a lot of chances in the first match, the Indian forwards could not find the back of the net. In case they want to get emerge on top in this match, clinical finishing in the final third is a must.
Nevertheless, the Blue Colts played really well against a stronger U17 team from China, as they rotated the ball well and played as a unit.
The Indian U16 team is currently on a preparatory tour ahead of the AFC U-16 Championship and will be playing friendly matches with multiple youth teams. After a win in Serbia lifting the Jockey Cup in Hong Kong, the boys played a few tours in Spain and are now back in action in China.
