I just watched the last 2 minutes of this match.We were 2-3 down ,got a penalty and equalised for 3-3 in the final minute of extra time. :D Usually, we see opposing teams do that to India in Hockey and Football.

Agree with Ankit, in both matches our boys struggled in last 20-25 mins ... Our high-energy style of game took toll on our players ... Today we were lucky as we managed to squeeze penalty in dying seconds for equalizer ... In this match first 30 mins we dominated but after that Saudi was better team on the field.

Iranian boys proved stronger team than our boys on the field ... We managed to hold them in the first half where they managed to score only one goal ... But in the beginning of the second half Boris Singh received his second yellow card of the match so we played with 10 players for last 35 minutes ... Still we hold them till 80' minute ... Iranian skipper scored 2 goals through penalty in last ten minutes for comfortable win for them ... So after this loss we r out of quarter final contention.

Well, well, good to be back in this thread once again. We qualified for the 2018 AFC u16 championships as one of 5 second place finishers in 10 groups. And China missed it after they lost to my 2nd favorite Asian team, S.Korea... Always great to see that!!

India qualify

By the way, the key was that 0-0 tie against group leaders Iraq in our third match when the chips were down (after we had a bummer of a 2-2 tie against Nepal in the 2nd match, though understandable, as they were the hosts)... We had beaten Palestine 3-0 in the first match so it helped our goal differential too.

The ADC u-16 finals will be in Malaysia next year.
