The Colts struggled to create anything of note throughout the course of the ninety minutes but their discipline out of possession was a joy to watch. They never allowed an inch to a more accomplished Serbia unit and were well worth the 0-0 draw. That's all from us here. Until next time, it's goodbye!
It's full-time here and the match finishes 0-0. A creditable result for the Colts against a top 50 Under-17 team which bodes well for their FIFA Under-17 World Cup prospects later this year.
It's all Serbia now as they desperately try to break India's disciplined rearguard. Space has been at a premium for the hosts today as the Colts have defended well. 0-0, 87 minutes.
The Colts are holding on well so far, but can they survive for another five minutes? It's 0-0 as we head into the final minutes of this hard-fought contest.
The Colts look to have prioritised keeping a clean sheet more than going on the offensive which is seemingly a good strategy against a better side in Serbia. A shut-out will also give the young Colts immense confidence. 0-0
67' 0-0. The Colts string together a few neat passes deep inside Serbia's half, but all the good work is undone by Aniket's heavy pass. This is the best India have looked in this half.
The Colts must've had barely 10 percent possession in the 2nd half by the looks of things. They concede possession straight away after they have the ball, something which must concern Norton de Matos and his staff today. 0-0
Another gilt-edged chance for Serbia here from a freekick as India survive, yet again. The hosts hit the crossbar but the score remains 0-0 at the 61-minute mark.
Another fine save by the Colts' 'keeper here as Serbia are left frustrated. It was a one-on-one opening for the hosts, who will rue these missed chances if the deadlock remains at full-time. 0-0
An issue with the Colts today has been the lack of coordinated pressing movements. Isolated presses are not helping much as Serbia almost always have an opening to recycle the ball and change the point of attack. It already looks like another long 45 minutes for the Colts. 0-0
A reckless challenge from Sanjeev Stalin here means India concede a freekick in a dangerous position. The delivery from the set-piece is an inviting one but no Serbian head is on the end of it. 0-0
