KATHMANDU, JUL 22 -
India defeated Sri Lanka 4-1 in the Second SAFF U-16 Championship at Nepal Army ground on Sunday.
India scored two goals in either side of half-time, with Bedeshwor Singh completing a brace. Prosenjit Chakroborti and Krishna Pandit netted a goal each.
Making a fiery start, India took a lead in the 21st minute with skipper Pandit breaking the deadlock
with a powerful strike from the edge of the area.
Singh doubled their advantage two minutes later, slotting home a powerful shot from the edge.
Niresh Fahad pulled a goal back for Sri Lanka in the 44th minute with a clever shot from inside the box to make the match competitive.
The second half, however, belonged solely to India who did not provide Sri Lanka any room for comeback. Chakroborti restored their two goals advantage in the 66th minute, dispatching a scorcher from the 25-yard into the top left corner.
Singh made 4-1 for India in the last minute when he sent in a half volley from the centre after dodging past two defenders.
