SAFF U-16 Championship: India humiliates Maldives, to face Pakistan or Bangladesh in the finals- Highlights
10' Narrow miss!
Lairenjam Bharat comes agonizingly close! In a well-organized attack from the right, Arbash sets up Lairenjam Bharat on the far left. Lairenjam beats the defender and takes a ground shot towards the far post, but it narrowly misses the target.
7' Corner for Maldives!
Maldives gets their first corner of the game, with Ethan Ibrahim Zaki taking the delivery. However, the ball sails way out of the box, resulting in a throw-in for India. It's a missed opportunity for Maldives, and India will now have the chance to regain possession.
1' India on the attack!
India is wasting no time asserting their dominance! In the very first minute, Samson receives a through ball from the right wing and takes a shot. There's a slight deflection, but the Maldives goalkeeper manages to make the save.
And we are off!
