With two Indian misses, Faroe Islands won the penalty shootout 4-2. Luck wasn't on the young tigresses' side but they will take this tournament as a learning experience.
The focus now shifts to the upcoming FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup set to be held in India.

In a swing of desperation, a Faroe Islands player smashed the ball which looped and dipped to almost spell trouble for the Indian goalie. Thankfully for Dennerby's side, the goalkeeper was mindful to punch it away. The Islands seem more active in the closing minutes.
Both teams are defensively solid, preventing the other from scoring a goal. 10 minutes to go in this slow-paced match.
